1 kg Chicken
1/2 Cup Thick Coconut Milk
Curry Leaves Few

For Marination:

1 Pod Garlic
10 nos. Shallots
1 1/2 tsp Chilly Powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

Instructions

For preparing the delicious Kozhi Varattiyathu, first grind well the ingredients under 'For Marination' to a smooth mixture.
Apply the mixture on the chicken pieces and keep aside for 15 minutes.
Take a vessel, add the marinated chicken pieces and pour the thick coconut milk on top. Close the vessel with a lid and cook the chicken in low flame until done. Check in between so that the chicken pieces do not stick to the bottom of the vessel.
When chicken pieces are done, remove the lid and allow the gravy to thicken. When oil becomes clearly visible, dry roast the chicken pieces until the outer surface becomes crispy.
Stir in the curry leaves, mix well and put off the flame.
