Naadan Kozhi Mulakittathu / Spicy Red Chicken Curry



This recipe is from my umma. I called her to get the recipe, but after trying out , I understood the taste is not reached near the curry prepared by her, though I used the same ingredients ! This is a very simple dish and good for those who love a very spicy chicken curry..

Naadan Kozhi mulaku Koottan / Spicy Red Chicken Curry
Chicken 1/2 kg
onion 2 chopped finely
tomato 2 chopped
shallots / chuvannulli 1/2 cup peeled
green chilly 2
turmeric powder 1 tsp
chilli powder 3 tsps
garam masala 1 tsp
garlic cloves 5
ginger piece 1 "
water 1/2 cup
salt

for seasoning
shallots / chuvannulli chopped 5
curry leaves few
coconut oil



Wash and cut chicken into small pieces. Grind garlic and ginger. Crush or grind chuvannulli / shallots. Mix all the ingredients together with chicken. Add water and cook until chicken is done.Add more water if needed. Heat oil, fry shallots until slightly brown. Add curry leaves and pour this into the curry..Pls add 2 pinches of fennel seed powder if your garam masala doesn't contain fennel seeds.

  13. hi,
    i came across this recipe and it looks wonderful. just wanted to know one thing.dont we have to saute the onions. if we just mix them together with chicken and add water aont it get the raw taste of the onions..just wanted to make sure before i make it.
    Thanks,
    SS

  14. Welcome Ss!
    Onions won't taste raw, you have to chop them finely, and you cook it chicken until the chicken is cooked well. When we do seasoning all raw tastes will disappear.. this is very old naadan method of making meat curries in our area!
    If you have doubt about the frozen chicken you use, which cooks easily within minutes, then saute the onions first and cook with other ingredients. Later you can do seasoning again in little oil, if you want..
    Hope this helps, all the best! :)

  16. Wa Alaikkum salam Saju,
    Yeah, that's a very spicy curry as the title says..! We normally don't take much red chillies but use pepper or green chillies instead.. You can use kashmiri chilli powder in this , it will give very nice recolour but won't be too spicy!

    Hii... I made this one today.. I didnt use 1/2kg chicken but used the same amount chilly. It was spicy :) the way I love it :) but a li'l raw taste of chilly powder was left I guess. Any clue what might have gone wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Shilpa! :)
    It seems the chilly powder hadn't cooked well.Next time roast the powder for a while before you cook.. :)

  21. oh hi seena.....i did rasam powder and some imli as well...turned out simply great. ofcourse being a bengali i dont know what the original taste of the dish is like. but i loved this...moushumi

    Sure. May be I did a small stupid thing.. I marinated it with water for 20 min. May be that got it dried. alle? I better keep my experimenting off at least with this dish :) The gravy was tasty only the pieces had a li'l raw flavor of the chilly powder.
