Tribal chicken

I had this dish in one my travel in wynad district.  Near pulpally in a very small  hotel (we cant call it a hotel, it was a thattukada where only porotta and chicken was available when I reached).   When we asked them they told some ingrediants only but we could make up the rest from the taste and smell of the same.  It is very spicy and goes well with any kind of Rotis or if made dry can be used as a starter
