As the name suggests, Mangalorean chicken curry comes from the coastal city of Mangalore. The dish, however, has deeper roots in the city and its cuisine. Mangalorean chicken curry or as the locals call it "kori ghasi" belongs to the Bunt community of Mangalore. Made with roasted spices, special chillies, and coconut milk this dish had been a part of the local cuisine for decades, and now it's kno ... wn as a famous Indian dish around the world. Today, you can find this dish as the prime seller in most of the eateries and restaurants in Karnataka. Like most of the chicken recipes made with curries, this Mangalorean chicken curry recipe also uses boiled chicken. The preparation time with pre-boiled chicken is about 40 minutes and ideally, it serves one person. Kori ghasi or Mangalorean chicken curry is a heavy main course dish and suited for lunch, dinner, or a heavy brunch. The Mangalorean chicken curry recipe uses byadgi chillies which can make the dish really hot and spicy for kids. Therefore, you should use less chillies to change the spicy level of the dish. Traditionally chicken Mangalorean is served with a flat and crunchy roti made of rice but if you like you can choose to serve it with chapati, laccha paratha, plain dosa, rice, or your favourite type of bread. The best way to enjoy this delicious dish is to take some curry on the roti or your preferred bread and make it absorb the flavours of the curry before you take a bite.

Interesting Facts and Tips
The following facts and tips will help you in the preparation of the dish: ● The recipe uses a special version of red chilly called byadgi which is easily available in the state of Karnataka. ● If you are using a canned version of coconut milk then don’t forget to add an equal amount of water in it to reduce the thickness to prevent curdles. ● Overheating the ingredient will burn them, try to roast them on a medium to low heat and roast them till they get brown. ● Byadgi chillies are one of the main ingredients to the recipe, it gives the curry the colour and the flavour. However, you can use Kashmiri chillies as an alternative to byadgi. ● You need to use extra garlic cloves if you are using pre-peeled garlic out of your refrigerator.
