Chicken Kozhi Varuval/Roast - no Onion no tomato recipe

Two weeks ago, we had a potluck in our building i had to make a cake and i wanted to keep lunch simple as i had to bake after lunch.So this is what i put together in like about 20 minutes.And the result was super yum!

This recipe is much better in all sense because lesser oil than a regular chicken fry and also a hassle free recipe with no onions to chop and tomatoes too.I added ginger garlic to enhance the flavour and just a simple recipe as such is good to go always.

Preparation time :  20 minutes

You need

Chicken pieces medium-small pieces 200 gms
Ginger 1 inch piece
Garlic 3 pods
Curry leaves 2 sprigs
Chilli powder 1/2 tsp (or as you need)

• Add the dry spice powders and salt to taste.Add water and cover and allow to cook well and the masalas to coat the chicken.Cook on low heat.
• After 10 minutes, open and check if all the water is gone else leave it open and allow the water to go away.Turn off the heat and serve.
