Chicken Malvani

Chicken Malvani  is a spicy and flavourful chicken recipe from Malvan. Malvan is a western coastal region of Maharashtra. Apart from the scenic spots, this region is quite popular for its diverse food culture and gastronomy. Authentic Chicken Malvani is made with aromatic homemade Malvani masala and uses coconut and onion as a base. Due to the abundance of coconut in the region, coconut is used in majority of the Malvani preparations.
