            well , along with my recipes I would like to share some fascinating facts about karwar ! which all karwaris will love know!wont elaborate but i will shorten and tell u  all!initially karwar was  a place for business for the Arabs, Iranis,portuguese and the British.originally karwar was known as Kadwad!!The boats would be anchored straight to kadwad onto the river kali. maybe thts why u find goldsmiths even today in kadwad!Slowly the britishers started flourishing and stared its colony along the sea side. even now u will find old British bunglows right from the DC bunglow on the hill to the  DFO bunglow.And they pronounced KADWAD as KARWAR! thts how our place got its name.Even the Portuguese wanted to build their colonies here.A Portuguese Officer named Forbes came in the year 1772 and flourished and he built a beautiful church at sunkeri!!
