A DIETARY DELIGHT
Goan Chicken Xacuti, a symphony of spices in every savory spoonful, with complex spicing, including sliced onions, toasted grated coconut, and large dried red chillies. The dish finds its origin in Goa’s diverse cultural tapestry, blending Indian, Portuguese and southeast Asian influences. It is also believed to have originated in Harmal (now Arambol) in Pernem Taluka of Goa. Xacuti itself is derived from the Portuguese word “Chacuti”, meaning spicy curry dish. Local fishermen would prepare a sauce or gravy containing spices such as black peppercorns, chillies, turmeric, onions, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
