Kozhi Mulakittathu – Chicken in Spicy Sauce

Coming to today’s recipe, this is another recipe I tried from my cousin’s wife’s recipes that featured on Vanitha, the first one being the Erachi choru. Somehow, I was disappointed that the recipe was not complete – some ingredients were missing in the list but mentioned in the method, which made me all confused. However, since I was already onto it and was not ready to be bogged down, I went on and made it with measurements that would suit our palates. “Mulakittathu” basically means cooked in a red spicy sauce. Now the curry does not look red, mainly because I did not add too much of red chilli powder. When the ummi cannot take it, I don’t expect my kids to take that much of spice!!! Nor can the men take it as well… That’s why the color is slightly brownish than it should be. I have noted down a few pointers below to get the red color if this recipe is decided to be made! This tastes awesome with Neychoru and would also go down perfectly with some chapathis or rotis. Off to the way I made it…
