Goan Xacutti with Coconut Chutney
A rich, tangy curry from Goa, India...
Xacutti (pronounced sha-koo-tee) is a Goan dish that is intense and hot with layers of spice and toasted poppy seeds. Historically it was a dish eaten to rid the paddy field workers of colds during the wet monsoon season, as the spices were believed to have medicinal properties. The star anise, cinnamon and fennel give it a fantastic depth of flavour with a rich tangy heat, best served with plain rice and the cooling coconut chutney.

One of my favourites ! So flavoursome
This was tasty and soooo easy!!
Yummy- this curry looks so rich and delicious, the perfect dish to turn up the heat and dream about the beautiful Goan beaches!
Long slow cook time but easy to make and worth it for the tender beef it creates.
Looks delicious, Stephen!
