Gongura Chicken
Advertisement
Gongura chicken is an Andhra style dry chicken recipe made with Gongura (Roselle)leaves. It is slightly hot, spicy and tangy. Gongura chicken is a very flavorful dish made with fresh gongura leaves and few basic spice ingredients. A perfect side dish. I love to have this with piping hot steamed rice and dal or sambar.

- In a pan add the chicken. Cover the pan and cook the chicken for about 10 mins in medium flame. Stir occasionally. Let the water released from chicken evaporate completely.
- Heat the ghee in a pan. Add curry leaves and cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add the chicken, garam masala powder and fry for 2-3 mins.

- Serve gongura chicken fry with plain rice and rasam or dal.
Notes
If one can’t source the gongura leaves, they can use gongura pickle which is available in market but for authentic taste and flavour i recommend to use fresh gongura leaves.
