NAATU KOZI VARUVAL

Ingredients:

To Boil The Chicken:
500 grms naatu kozi chicken pieces’
½ tsp coriander powder
¼ tsp aniseeds powder
¼ tsp pepper powder
½ tsp ginger juice
½ tsp garlic juice
1 tbs tomato saaru (very fine pureed)
Little turmeric powder
Little salt

To Fry:
1 tbs peanut oil
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp chillie powder
2 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp garam masala powder
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
Little salt

Method:
Boil the chicken with the above ingredients.
Once cooked remove the chicken pieces.
Make chicken rasam by adding more ingredients.
The chicken pieces would have absorbed all the flavour.

To Fry The Chicken:

Heat the peanut oil in a wok, add in the mustard seeds.
When it splutters, add in the curry leaves.
Now add in the ginger and garlic paste, fry for a second.
Add in the spice powders, and the chicken pieces.

The little rasam from the chicken pieces would mix well
with the the spices and coat the chicken well.
Sauté continuously until you get a rich brown colour.
Remove and enjoy.


NOTE: my aunt says some people like to add in small
broken red chillies, while adding the curry leaves.
