Kurumulaku Kozhi Roast, also known as Kerala Pepper Chicken Roast, is a beloved dish from the South Indian state of Kerala. "Kurumulaku" means black pepper in Malayalam, and "Kozhi" means chicken. This dish celebrates the bold, warming flavors of freshly cracked black pepper — one of Kerala's most prized spices that has been traded for centuries.
At Olive South Indian Cuisine, we prepare our Kurumulaku Kozhi Roast using a traditional Kerala recipe. Tender chicken pieces are marinated in a blend of spices, then slow-roasted with generous amounts of freshly crushed black pepper, caramelized shallots, ginger, garlic, and fragrant curry leaves. The result is a dish with deep, complex flavors — spicy from the pepper, sweet from the caramelized onions, and aromatic from the curry leaves.
Our Kurumulaku Kozhi Roast pairs perfectly with steamed rice, Kerala parotta, or appam. The bold flavors of the pepper chicken complement the subtle sweetness of these traditional accompaniments. It's also a popular choice with our Sunday Buffet, where you can experience it alongside other Kerala favorites.
