Fried Chicken Curry

Fried Chicken Curry/Varuth Kozhi curry

Today on this Eid day started our breakfast with Hussain Ahmed & family. It took me back to our nostalgic days of Maldives. Mamma, his wife prepared chicken curry, mutton curry, chicken fry with paratha, vatta appam, kuzhalappam, halwa, raw mango jam etc… so thought of cooking fried chicken curry for lunch.

Chicken fried with bones is chosen for making curry. You can prefer the leftover fried chicken for making this curry (if left! J). For - how to make chicken fry pls refer http://achuscook.blogspot.in/2014/07/chicken-fry.html
