Our barn, our recipes

Cooked in a barn above Silent Pool

This gravy starts the way it did in Mandira's family kitchen in Calcutta: whole spices, toasted and ground the same morning, cream stirred in slowly so it never splits.

We cook in small batches in a 400-year-old barn in the Surrey Hills, then blast-freeze every pot the day it's made. Cooked, then frozen. That order is the whole point.

Chicken Xacuti, The Goan Curry Built on Roasted Coconut

Chicken Xacuti, said sha-koo-tee, is a Goan chicken curry with real depth. The base is coconut dry-roasted until dark and fragrant, then ground with red chilli, star anise and a spread of warm spices. This is chicken xacuti as you would find it along the Goan coast, layered and a little smoky, the kind of chicken xacuti that rewards a slow, proper meal.

HOW SPICY IS IT?
Medium. The roasted coconut and red chilli give a rounded heat that builds gently rather than hitting hard. Most people find it comfortable. If you are heat-shy, serve it with plenty of rice and a cooling raita to soften the edge.

WHAT'S IN IT (AND THE ALLERGENS)
Chicken in a sauce of roasted coconut, red chilli, star anise, curry leaves, onion, ginger, garlic and dry-roasted spices. It contains coconut. Made with no preservatives. Cooked in small batches, so the roasted-spice character comes through in every mouthful. Please check the pack for the full ingredient list before serving.

READY IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Cook this Goan chicken curry from frozen. On the hob, add the curry to a pan with a splash of water and heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can also microwave for 4 to 5 minutes, or reheat in the oven or air fryer for around 30 minutes. Serve only once it is piping hot throughout.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN XACUTI
Lemon rice is the classic partner, its citrus lift cutting through the richness of the roasted coconut. A cooling raita balances the medium heat, and warm naan or a soft pau roll is good for the last of the sauce. A crisp salad on the side finishes the plate.

WHY BUY CHICKEN XACUTI FROM US
We make this chicken xacuti by hand at our Silent Pool kitchen in Surrey, dry-roasting the spices in small batches the way our Calcutta family recipes teach. Each batch is blast-frozen fresh with no preservatives, so nothing is lost between kitchen and freezer. We hold 15 Great Taste Awards and more than 520 five-star reviews, and we deliver restaurant-quality chicken xacuti UK-wide. Order this Goan chicken curry today and skip the takeaway queue.
