Kozhi = chicken
Melagu = Pepper / Chilly
Varuval = fry ( I think so)
I think the origin of this dish is Chettinad or Tamil Nadu

If you have the "stomach" for chillies try this recipe from Andhra Dish. I
used to use therecipe from the  NDTV cooks website but for some reason there
is an error on the site. But it uses a lot of pepper and is awesome.
Moderate to your taste or u might taste that chicken more than once :)
