This chicken kuzhambu is a spicy, aromatic, flavorful and coconut based gravy prepared without using tomato is usually served with rice, chapati, dosa, idli and parotta. This simple and easy to make kuzhambu is distinct in taste due to the coconut paste used in the making. This is a little spicy kuzhambu than the regular one that we prepare at home as it involves both dried red chilli and green chilli in addition to peppercorn and chilli powder.
