Chicken Fry ( kerala )

Ingredients :

Chicken- 1 kg

Chillie powder - 3 1/2 tb sp

Turmeric powder - 1 tsp

pepper powder - 1 1/2 tbsp

All spice powder ( garam masala ) Nirapara masala has a naadan taste. - 3- 3 1/2 tbsp

Vinegar - 5 ml ( or curd 1/2 cup )

Garlic - 1 1/2 cloves

Ginger - two 1" pieces

Oil to fry

Salt to Taste

corn flower 3 tsp ( optional )

Grind all the ingredients in a mixer along with vinegar and salt.

Mix it thoroughly with the chicken pieces and keep aside for 1 to 2 hrs. You can keep it in the freezer also to marinate. ( needs less time . may be half an hr. )

( what I do is mix this in the beginning and cook it after I am done with other dishes or chores )

In a Kadai or non stick heat oil and put 4-5 chicken pieces . Cover it with a lid . Cook in sim or medium heat. Cook till golden brown.

Use sliced onions and tomato to garnish.

key point - If you are frying it raw do not add coriander powder . When you fry after cooking you can add coriander as well )

( I got this recipe from Manju's mother . It took me years to excel in it . What I believe is every house has its own food culture. And no recipe is complete. You will have to make changes according to your taste buds and hunches.

And you will have to add the two secret ingredients- Love and a Prayer for the health of the family. That is where the magic is ! )
