Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade
- 500 gm Chicken bone-in, skin-on thighs or a mix of thighs and drumsticks recommended for best results
- 1 tsp Kashmiri Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Pepper freshly ground is best, black
- 1 tsp Fennel Seeds saunf, or sauf; finely ground
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tbsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1-2 Chilies finely chopped, green, or 1 tsp green chili paste; adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Vinegar white
For Cooking
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Onions finely chopped
- 8-10 leaves Curry Leaves
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- Marinate the chicken with ginger-garlic paste, Kashmiri chili powder, black pepper, turmeric powder, coriander powder, fennel powder, salt, and vinegar. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer for deeper flavor.
Sauté Aromatics
- Heat the oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions become translucent and slightly golden.
Cook the Chicken
- Add the marinated chicken to the pan and stir well to coat it with the oil and onions. Cook uncovered for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown.
Simmer and Finish
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and let the chicken simmer gently for about 7-8 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through and tender. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking or drying out. Stir occasionally.
Serve
- Serve the Kerala Spicy Chicken Fry hot with steamed rice, naan, roti, or your favorite flatbread. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Kerala Spicy Chicken Fry
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garam masala to the marinade.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and cooking.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Start with less and add more if you like it spicier.
- Using bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces adds richness and depth of flavor to the dish. The skin will crisp beautifully during cooking.
