Naadan Kozhi Curry or Kerala Style chicken curry is very tasty and one of the main non veg delicacies of my magic kitchen. The taste of this dish depends on its quality and quantity of ground masala. I normally use homemade meat masala for this recipe. It gives a traditional taste and aroma. Naadan Kozhi Curry (Kerala Style chicken Curry) is a good combination with Kerala Fried Rice, Kerala Prata, Chappathi, Appam, Puttu, Idiyappam and Pathiri etc…Try this awesome recipe and enjoy 🙂
