Notes

  • The Original recipe calls for Desi Chicken/Naatu kozhi .
  • If Desi chicken/ Country chicken/ Naatu Kozhi is used pressure the chicken for about 4 to 6 whistles.
  • Use freshly ground pepper powder for the best taste.
  • More curry leaves can be used ,if you prefer.
  • I have a recipe coming up to use the bones from this cooked chicken,so it wont be waste.
