Chicken Varuval

Kongu Kozhi Varuval - Coimbatore type Chicken dry roast in English, is one of the most popular Non-vegetarian dishes from Tamil Nadu. Dry Chicken roast has many variations - Kongu - Coimbatore type they add grated coconut ( probably influenced by the West coast Kerala and Mangalorean habit of using coconut) and Chettinad type - where they add more roasted spices (Masala). Here this Chicken Varuval has masala floating to the top. For extra flavor, add curry leaves fried crisp in ghee on top. The curry leaves and the fresh green coriander leaves accentuate the aroma and texture.


Chef's Tip: As in all things, select fresh ingredients for the best results. Chicken needs to be from a young bird. Roast the spices for the masala dry in a wide Kadai (wok) for a few minutes to bring out the flavor.
