Kerala Chicken Fry
Description
The overnight marination in yogurt, ginger-garlic, and a blend of warm spices combined with the frying in coconut oil, and the addition of curry leaves, creates a delicious succulent, Kerala-style Fried Chicken.
Ingredients:
For pan-fried garnish
Instructions
-
Add all the ingredients to the chicken pieces and rub well. You can make some gashes over the flesh to help penetrate the spices more evenly. The marinade should be a thick coating and not runny.
-
Marinate at least 5 hours or overnight, covered tightly in the refrigerator.
-
Bring to room temperature before frying.
-
Heat coconut oil for shallow frying in a frying pan, preferably with deep edges. Add one layer of chicken pieces to the pan, without overcrowding. Shallow-fry in coconut oil till the bottom is dark golden brown on a regulated medium heat.
-
Turn over and fry the other side. Do not over fry. I usually cook about 5 minutes per side.
-
Fry all the chicken pieces in batches, till done. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
In the remaining oil in the pan, add the ‘Ingredients for pan-fried garnish’_ . Stir just for 10 seconds* so that the onion rings absorb the spices in the oil and quickly remove everything with a slotted spoon. You don’t really want to cook the onion. It should just soak up some of the masalas in the oil.
-
Remove the ingredients from the pan and garnish the chicken with this.
-
Serve with flatbreads or just on its own. It’s delicious.
Note
- My Family’s Malabar Kerala Garam Masala – the best one I have ever seen anywhere. I use it extensively to add great flavor to so many dishes, and all my regular readers have made it and loved it. – Kerala Garam Masala.
