Kerala Style Chicken Curry Recipe, Nadan Chicken Curry

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Kerala Style Chicken Curry Recipe– One of the very famous chicken curries all over India, this dish is made with few spices and fresh coconut milk. Pretty awesome to taste and easy to make, this kerala style chicken curry recipe is very unique in taste.

As most of the purely traditional kerala style recipes are made with coconut oil, I have stuck to it and made this chicken curry with coconut oil too.

The warm aromatic spices and the flavorful coconut make this dish a delight to eat with roti, nan, chapati, idiyappam, appam, plain steamed rice or even tomato rice. The kerala style chicken curry just tastes so awesome with anything and everything. I can think of dozens of ways to relish this dish.

Staying in Dubai, with a lot of Keralites here, it is only natural that I can get the recipe from the most authentic source. One of the many advantages of being in Dubai, I guess.

You can adjust the quantity of gravy in the kerala sytle chicken curry by adding or drying up the coconut. I like to keep a good amount of gravy in it as the gravy tastes just so tasty. I love the gravy more than the chicken in this dish. I think the gravy is the reason why it is very big hit with the kids too.
