Description

This dish is famous in the southern part of kerala. Thoran or stir fry dishes are generally made with vegetables and always coconut either grated or crushed is added. Kozhi means chicken in Malayalam.

Note

1) I used chicken with bones. Can use boneless also. Actually with bone tastes better than boneless.
2) Chicken should defnitely be cut into small pieces.
