Chicken dry roast Kerala style / Kozhi varattiyathu / Kozhi peralan

Chicken dry roast..my favorite chicken recipe!!!!!!The name kozhi varattiyathu itself make me to drool...It is a typical kerala stylechicken dish loaded with coconut oil and curry leaves..My hubby loves to take veg pulao with chicken dry roast. and ghee rice with chicken special roast.I don't know the exact reason ☺.But Im sure it will go well with appam chapathi parotta or even with dosa :)





The taste secrete behind this roast is here we are not adding water to the chicken.And the taste of coconut oil and curry leaves blended with other spices will make this roast delicious.If you are on diet try to reduce oil or at least for one time loose your grip on oil bottle :P

Few days back for our guest I had prepared it and served with ghee rice . Challas and pickle also served with this and finally vanilla ice cream too.

To be frank I love to take chicken dry roast with white rice and hot rasam :)
