Easy Chicken Fry
When am absolutely bored/jobless I’ve this habit of channel surfing from the beginning to the end. But most of the days, even after surfing a 100+ channels, I feel like there is nothing to watch!!! Anyways,one day I got lucky and came across a cookery show. Ya I love to watch cookery shows, I guess many people love watching it even if they don’t like cooking ;)
Ok, now coming to this recipe which I got from that cookery show. This is an absolutely simple and easy recipe. This is a kind of recipe which I call “no frills”. Its very good as a starter for a party or for just munching it while watching TV or when you’ve that sudden urge to snack something spicy and that too real fast, this is the one!!
Here is the recipe:
- Boneless chicken – 1 cup, cut into bite size pieces
- Chilly powder – 1 – 2 tsp
Pepper powder – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Paprika – 1/4 tsp (optional)
Salt - Green chilly – 5-7
Curry leaves - Oil
Marinate the chicken pieces with chilly powder, pepper powder, paprika (if using) and salt. Keep it for 10-15 mins. Shallow fry in oil, add the green chilly and tons of curry leaves along with the chicken pieces. Fry till the chicken is tender and it gets a good reddish brown colour. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the fried chicken to give it an extra flavor. Serve hot.
That’s it… didn’t I tell you, this is a super easy one :)
Notes: The green chilly & curry leaves gives the flavor to this. Also I recommend using coconut oil for frying, if you like it’s taste. Please adjust the qty of spice powders to suit your taste.

Thanks for dropping in and trying out the malabar fish curry recipe. Happy to know that it came out well for you :)
Fennel seed is perumjeerakam and aniseed is a jeerakam somewhat similar to perumjeerakam ( am not sure abt aniseed tgh).
Pls refer the following links for more details:

Aniseed is mostly known as Saumph itself in Kerala and Choti Saumph in Hindi. As we all know, Fennel Seeds (Perumjeerakam) are commonly used in Kerala Cuisine. Aniseed is used as a mouth freshener and has a stronger taste and is more expensive. I don’t think Aniseed is all that common in Kerala Cuisine.

Paprika is a powder made from grinding dried capsicum (bell peppers). Its mainly added to give color and flavor. Its available in supermarkets.
