Chicken roce curry

Chiken roce curry

This is a typical mangalorean Chicken curry loved by most of the Mangaloreans.  'Roce' means 'coconut milk' in konkani. This curry needs coconut milk as a main ingredient.

The aroma of roasted spices & the flavour of thick coconut milk, gives special taste & richness to this dish. 

This curry goes extremely well with shevyo/ rice noodles, panpole/neeru dosa, sanna, kori rotti, or apams.  Goes well with rice too.
