South Indian Chicken Varuval
Chef Gaurav whips up a semi-dry South Indian chicken dish layered with toasted fennel, cumin, curry leaves, deggi chili, and a freshly ground varuval masala. The chicken cooks down until coated in its own spice-forward reduction. Basmati rice softens the heat, while roasted cauliflower tossed with mustard seeds and curry leaves adds texture.
