That's probably, like me, the spices/herbs/ingredients are more familiar.
I find, though, that the more I cook Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc. stuff 
and see how things work together the more comfortable I am in doing that
style of cooking.

Here's another Goanese recipe which is on my "Round Tuit" list. You can
control the heat bu picking which red chilies you use - I think I'll go
with ripe Anaheim/Numex rather than Thai or cayenne/tabasco chilies.
