Chicken Xacuti - Goan Style

Heat 1 tsp. oil and saute the ingredients from coriander seeds to garlic cloves till the coconut turns light brown in colour and you get a nice aroma. Keep aside to cool.

Saute the onions too in another tsp. of oil. After it cools down, grind both the onions and the other fried ingredients with the vinegar into a fine paste.

Marinate the chicken with this paste for 2 hours. Heat the remaining oil and add the marinated chicken, nutmeg, turmeric powder and salt. Saute on low flame till the oil leaves the sides of the pan.

Add 1 cup water and cook, covered till the chicken turns tender. Add the potatoes and the onions. Cook, covered further for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with rice or any Indian bread.
