My 2 year old son's favourite item from the menu is chicken. He is a happy man when mummy makes chicken. So I try all different versions of the good old chicken. This time I decided to make a dry version. I followed my usual list of ingredients, to add an extra kick I added some coconut pieces (aka kothu in malayalam) . I was not in a rush;So I started making the chicken ,kept stirring the curry now and then on low flame for about an hour . The result was a mouth-watering chicken dish . My son was a very happy man yesterday.I served the chicken with some rice and our Everyday Salad.
