Most people in Goa pronounce chicken xacuti as"chicken shaguti".In Portuguese it is called as"chacuti",although Portuguese is brownish in colour as compared to the Goan red xacuti.                                                                                                                                               

Chicken Xacuti

 In Goa xacuti is made with either chicken or beef or pork.The chicken is often replaced with mutton and tastes equally good. For every celebration xacuti is must to have in the menu in the most house holds.Once the xacuti is cooked in house you cannot resists yourself to attack it.In the gravy we typically use local species like black pepper(meerya),chili,turmeric,onion,nutmeg,cinnamon,clove,etc.We rather like our chicken xacuti full of spice and heat.but we do feel free to cut down on the amount of chili to suit taste.


Chicken Xacuti

When i was young i always used to go to my grandmother place in summer . Specially to eat chicken xacuti made by her. whenever i used to smell her chicken xacuti, my mouth would water .While eating chicken xacuti i always think  is she having magic in her hands. I also remember after eating i always used to lick my fingers.She always told me that she has a secret masala (spice) and she thought me to prepare it.It is all about experimenting with the diverse flavours till you find a chicken xacuti that you can call your own.

Crab  Xacuti

There is also another type of xacuti which is known as crab xacuti it is prepared same as chicken xacuti.

But i always prefer the chicken xacuti over crab xacuti because of its aroma. 

No matter which variant of xacuti you eat. You will always be amazed and fascinated by its taste.

Assad is a Konkani Word and it is known as Roast in English. There are basically two type of Roast that are prepared in Goa, one is the Beef Roast and the other one is the Pork Roast.
