Mangalorean Chicken Curry
With its coconut and chili-based sauce, this dish is a little bit spicy, a little bit sour, and all flavorful. Chef Gaurav browns pieces of juicy, tender chicken thighs in ghee (aka clarified butter), then slow-simmers them in the rich, aromatic sauce. It’s built the traditional way, starting with toasted spices—chiles, cumin, and coriander—then enriched with coconut. The accompanying rice is another South Indian staple—studded with crunchy fried peanuts and fragrant with toasted spices and fresh lemon juice.
