Chicken Uppu Varuval/Kozhi Uppu Varuval


Uppu Varuval is a Chettinadu delicacy that can be made with either chicken or mutton.A simple dry preparation uses only dried red chillies and some basic spices.

Shallots and the red chillies enhances the taste and flavor of the recipe.Shallots tastes best for this preparation but regular onion also makes wonder.

This spicy curry couples up great with simple rasam or curd rice but with pulao too.This fry takes only 30 minutes to cook and tastes better when it is served hot.Also the red chilly in the fry goes very well with curd rice.
