Chilli Pepper Chicken Perelen is a semi-dry chicken masala preparation, when marinated, pan-fried chicken is tossed in a mouth-watering masala consisting of onion, tomato and spices.  This is a popular method of preparation in Kerala and goes well with rice or flatbreads. I love it Parotta, Pathiri or Ghee rice. A flavoursome chicken masala with warm and earthy spice.
