Today's recipe, Chicken Xacuti (pronounced "sha-kooti") is a classic dish from Goa and encompasses the rich array of its spices resulting in a delicious dish with complex flavors.

Chicken Xacuti sits pretty high on that list along with cafreal, prawn balchao, sorpotel, and bebinca. Chicken Xacuti - a great balance of flavours.
