Recheado or Rechad masala is a famous Goan(Indian) red masala used specially for stuffing mackerel fish what we call Bangdo in Goa.

fish is first cleaned and then it is cut in the middle removing the bone. Then this masala is stuffed in between and also applied outside of mackerels on both the sides. The fish is then coated with rava/sooji/semolina and shallow fried on a skillet. Though it is mainly used to fry mackrals, we can prepare it and refrigerate so that it can be used in any other recipes whether veg or non veg. This masala is quick to make and no cooking is required.
