Kozhi Pirattal

கோழி பிரட்டல் (Kozhi Pirattal)

Kozhi pirattal is a dry spicy gravy. This gravy is a good combination for rice, dosa, briyani and parotta. Using country chicken with bone for this gravy increases the taste of the gravy. Country chicken recipes are favorite of my hubby. I wish to cook this gravy in authentic style (cooking in earthen pot).
