Kuttanad, it means the backwaters. It is such an amazing place to go for a house boat ride, where you see just kilometers and kilometers of water.. One night, I really wanted to make something different with chicken and somehow “Kuttanadan Chicken Roast” was continuously echoing in my mind…first we marinate the chicken and shallow fry it..then sauté all ingredients & add fried chicken…. the flavour of coconut oil is amazing when we cook the chicken…it will go along with rice, parotta..etc
