Kozhi kuttan / Kerala style Chicken in roasted spice gravy
This chicken curry recipe has come to rescue several times when there are guests for lunch or dinner. I got this when I was flipping through the pages of a recipe book and thought of trying this. Speciality of this recipe is roasted spices and coconut milk.
In this recipe, chicken is prepared with different varieties of Kerala?s herbs and condiments. This has an amalgamation of spices and way too scrumptious dish. Recipe looks a bit complicated, but it is actually simple and I am sure would come out with great flavors and amazing taste.
