Chicken Uruval or Urval is a famous and delicious Mangalorean dish. It is very simple to prepare, yet very rich in taste. It is a spicy, tangy and very flavorful dish mostly served as an appetizer. This dish has very less ingredients. The main taste of this dish is from the masala paste prepared using red chillies, cashewnuts and few whole spices. Paste should be fried properly in butter. I just marinated the chicken and cooked with the paste. But in restaurants they deep fry the chicken pieces.
