Pedne Shagoti
Commonly known as Xacuti, this sophisticated curry originated in Pedne taluka of Goa, a region that borders Maharashtra in the north. This close proximity to the Malvan region, as it’s known, allows the intermingling of Malvan cuisine with Goan, resulting in a flavour exclusively found in the cuisine of Pedne. This masala from The Other Backward Community that calls Pedne home, is traditionally used with chicken or lamb, but it’s so versatile that it compliments a range of fish, meats and even vegetables.
