Country Style Chicken Fry
Slow-roasted in coconut oil with a generous hand of spices, this chicken fry develops layers of flavour as it dries out on the pan. The patience pays off — every piece is coated and concentrated.
Ingredientsfor 8 servings
- 1 Lb Chicken washed and — cut into medium size pieces
- 3 - Oil
- For garnishing
- 3 nos Onions fried
- Curry leaves, to taste
- 4 tsp Garlic paste
- 4 tsp Ginger paste
- Yoghurt half cup
- 2 tsp Chilly powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 2 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp Pepper powder
- 1 N Meat masala powder
- Salt, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Grind together all the masalas into a thick paste.
Step 2
Marinate the chicken pieces with the masala mix.
Step 3
In a heavy bottom cooking pot, add the chicken pieces and cook until tender and water has fully evaporated.
Step 4
Set a pan over medium heat and pour in the oil.
Step 5
Add these cooked chicken pieces to the pan and fry till brown and crisp.
Step 6
Garnish it with fried onions and curry leaves.
Step 7
The onions used for garnishing can be fried in the same oil used to fry the chicken, hence low consumption of oil.
Step 8
As the chicken is cooked before frying, there is no need of marinating and keeping aside. The masala is fully gone into the pieces. So it will be more tastier than frying directly.
Tip
Bone-in chicken gives a richer, more flavourful gravy than boneless. The marrow flavours the curry as it cooks.
