Chicken Varuval (crispy Chicken)

Chicken Varuval is a spicy, deep-fried chicken dish. This is especially a South Indian dish flavoured with ginger and garlic although the exact recipe can vary. Curry leaves play an important role in the flavour. And I’m very happy that it becomes so good on my first attempt itself. Try Chicken Varuval immediate and enjoy the delicious taste instant!!
