The video begins with the person placing a cluster of tender coconuts on a table before slicing the top. Next, he carves a hole in the middle and pours the water into a container. Veggies come next. The cook chops tomatoes and onions but slices green chillies from the centre. After that, he takes a handful of garlic and crushes them in a grinder. The best part is now: Succulent chicken pieces are added to the coconut water-filled vessel alongside the vegetables. A medley of masalas, salt, garlic paste and yoghurt goes into the mix before the person covers the container with a plate.
Once the marination is complete, the man pours the chicken into the hollowed-out tender coconuts and seals them with flattened flour dough. The coconuts are then placed atop a wooden fire set up. After the chicken is cooked, the person serves the dish traditionally on a banana leaf. He paired the dish with crispy parottas. The meal is truly mouth-watering.
