Chicken Kuzhambu Recipe – Kozhi Kuzhambu

Chicken Kuzhambu Recipe


Chicken Kuzhambu it is finally πŸ™‚ I always have small incidents associated with my props…Few months ago, when we visited Haribhavanam I saw cute varied sized buckets used for serving gravies. I loved them so much and wondered where do they get these A day later I saw the same buckets at Nilgiris I was overjoyed and immediately picked the smallest one and made this kuzhambu the next day and clicked it πŸ™‚
As I’ve started exploring nonveg recipes, the first few on my list were all chicken recipes. When I was googling found this recipe quite interesting and it turned out super good .

Serve with hot steamed rice. Give atleast an hour of resting time. Enjoy it with rice for lunch and use the leftover with rotis for dinner, tastes best πŸ™‚

Punjabi Rajma Masala

My Notes:

  • You can even add ginger garlic paste instead of chopped ginger and garlic.
  • Adjust spice level to your taste, the above recipe is just medium spicy as it suits our family.
  • The color of the curry depends purely on the red chilli variety used.

    This kuzhambu was some what different from any other chicken kuzhambu I had tried, my family loved it and me too, added potatoes since kids love it. The coriander leaves added to the aroma….and surely will make it again. Thumbs Up !
