Thalassery special kozhi kaal/ Koyi kaal

Thalassery's special kozhi kaal (literally "chicken leg") is a popular deep-fried  snack that has become a beloved part of the Malabar culinary scene. Despite its name, kozhi kaal doesn't actually contain chicken—instead, it's a vegetarian snack made from a thick, spiced batter of besan flour, rice flour, and shaped to resemble a chicken leg. The tapioca pieces is wrapped in the thick batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. Flavored with green chilies, curry leaves, and some more ingredients. kozhi kaal is  a nostalgic treat enjoyed, especially during tea time or festive gatherings.
