You must mean influence. Persian words have been incorporated in Konkani as a result of trade links. It's not a Persian dialect though. There are words originally from Persian in English too.

I'm sorry, you're right. It's actually a form of creole portuguese and it's not really considered a dialect as it's completely different from it's sister language - Konkani. But due to a minority of people who speak it, it's considered a dialect (spoken in the northern and western provinces of Goa and parts of Maharashtra).
