Chicken Green Masala

Chicken Green Masala 


This is one of the oldest & most popular delicacy of Mangalorean cuisine. This curry was served for feasts, weddings or any other celebrations during our childhood days. 

This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves. 

This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole & sanna. 

This curry tastes awesome with local chicken ( naati koli). My hubby loves potatoes in meat curries. I have added potatoes here. You can skip if you wish. 

Simple easy recipe with few basic ingredients available at home and few fresh herbs like coriander and mint leaves.


I have mint plants in 3 pots & these fresh leaves often tempt me to prepare green masala curries or chutneys. 

Please note:

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
