Nadan kozhi curry/Chicken curry kerala style


I don't know why I postponed this recipe to post?I can say this is my signature dish.A good combination for rice,Appam and chapathi.This is a typical Kerala style recipe.But here I avoided coconut milk which will give more richness to this dish.If you are adding kasmiri chilly powder, curry will be moe colourful.It was not available in my kichen so I avoided it.Kerala style chicken curry is a  spicy and tasty dish.Dont add water to this curry until the pieces are lightly fried with masala.and that is the main secrete behind its taste...

    1. It is not broiler chicken.Nattu kozhi is mainly for egg.You can use any chicken but nadan kozhi will be more tasty but with less flesh.
