Description
Country chicken or Nattu kozli kolambhu as its known in its original form . Two days back as usual was just surfing through all the foodie groups that I am a part of . One post just got my full attention on home chefs guild as fami tha of salem had posted nattu kozli kolambhu picture with the recipe mentioning that it helped her kids heal their cold . Went through the recipe and just loved the rustic process of it with few simple, humble ingredients transforming into a delicious one pot dish . Took note immediately as I am having a terrible cold and cough . Tried it out last morning and had it with dosas .the kick of crushed pepper serves as a cold remedy here . Felt much better once I had this kolambhu . Thanks fami tha to have shared this wonderful medicinal recipe that was tasty and a natural awakening to my cold that served me as my comfort food .
