[kugan98]

Dev, thanks for your nice post.

Thanks, Kugan98

[kugan98]

[tscii]Dev, I grew up in Karur. My neighbours were mainly from Naamakkal. The aunt who taught my mom this chicken recipe will insist that we have to use nattu kozhi. The meat will be a little tough and very less fat. This is a dry dish.

PALLIPALAYAM CHICKEN VARUVAL


Ingredients:

1 kg nattu boneless chicken
1 cup finely sliced shallots
1 tbs finely chopped garlic
1 tsp ginger paste
½ tsp turmeric powder
10 red dry chillies cut into pieces
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tbs oil
Salt to taste
Little coriander leaves chopped

Method:
Cut chicken into small pieces.
Remove the seeds from the cut chillies.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the cut chillies and let the chillies infuse in the oil.
This step is to flavour the dish. Do not burn the chillies.

Add in the onions and sauté until soft.
Add in the garlic and ginger, fry till the raw smell goes.
Add in the chicken, turmeric powder and salt.
Fry until the chicken is seared and well cooked.
Sprinkle little water if needed. Fry till all the juices are evaporated.
Add the curry leaves and fry for a second.
Remove and garnish with coriander leaves.
