Varutharacha Kozhi Curry is the most traditional way chicken curry is made in Malabar and we bet that every malayali who loves non veg has eaten this once or more. The gravy has a base of roasted coconut with some flavourful spices making it a terrific combination for pathiri, chappathi, idiyappams or appams. I never get bored preparing Chicken or any non-veg recipe. This Varutharacha Kozhi Curry is simply because of the fact that it can never go wrong Somehow that’s my experience with it…And if at all something goes wrong also, the flavour of chicken will correct it… The perfect blend of roasted coconut and spices gives a rich and aromatic flavour to the curry. It could be made in millions of ways because each household has a recipe of their own!

I always wondered about the taste of each Varutharacha Kozhi Curry when it compared with another. My mother’s combination of spices are extremely amazing even it compared with mine. If you love spicy chicken curry this is must try, I am sure it will be a wonderful addition to your “to do” list. You can use beef instead of chicken in this recipe to prepare Beef Varutharachathu.
