    Varutharacha Chicken Curry

    Chicken curry is the one which i make quite often, you can check out all my different varieties of chicken curries..This is a version which i make quite often, this is one of my native special recipe. This chicken curry has freshly roasted spices and coconut in it. So fragrant and so tasty dish.

    Roasting the spices and coconut till they are dark brown and adding that to the curry gives the curry a rich brown colour to this curry. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
