Murgh malvani or chicken cooked in spicy gravy made with flavour of malvani masala, is a non-vegetarian dish, which is quite popular in maharashtra and the konkan region. Malvani cuisine has its own distinct way of cooking food. The coconut forms the main ingredient, and it is used liberally in various forms such as grated, dry grated, fried, coconut paste and coconut milk. Many masalas will have dried red chilies and other spices like coriander seeds, peppercorns, cumin, cardamom, ginger, garlic, etc. So the malvani cuisine curries are predominantly hot and spicy. Traditionally, murgh malvani is served with vade which is a fluffy, fried bread of wheat and nachni flour, looking similar to puri.
