Nadan Chicken Curry Recipe is a kerala style chicken curry recipe and is a traditional recipe down south in Kerala region.

Check out some more south indian chicken recipes  :

  • chicken fry
  • Chicken curry without coconut 
  • pepper chicken 

This chicken curry which is just named as a nadan may bring it as a unique chicken curry but the ingredients that go into making it are quite basic and easily available at home.

I was so glad to try this recipe for the very first time and it simply turned awesome…

I couldn’t wait to share this chicken recipe with the readers as it is a Kerala special dish and my attempt to make this recipe turned out as a great and fantastic experience in regional cooking.

I would love to try out many more regional recipes and share it with my blog readers and cannot wait to receive feedbacks.

This nadan chicken curry is made with coconut and the same recipe can be made without using coconut milk or its paste.

The curry requires too many ingredients and it is full of spices and a great recipe to have it with roti or rice. I love this recipe with rotis or parathas.

The kerala cuisine is so wonderful and it has number of recipes to be tried and the main ingredient used in every recipe in the Kerala region is coconut in any form.

However, that is the traditional way of cooking Kerala recipes but the ingredient can be skipped and can be tried in various versions.

Here I have not used coconut oil while making the dish and used normal edible oil instead. However, edible coconut oil can be used to make the wonderful nadan chicken curry.
