Nattu Kozhi Varuval Recipe

This is one chicken dish which i have been planning to make for a very long time. I made it yesterday and it was spot on..The flavours were perfect and we enjoyed with rice..

Nattu Kozhi / Country Chicken is so much healthy and has lots of health benefits in them that normal broiler chicken..So hubby has taken a decision to buy nattu kozhi every sunday. Last sunday i told him to get the drumstick of nattu kozhi as whole so i can make this recipe to post here. This one is hubby's favourite and he loved it to the core.
