Coorg Chicken

Coorg Chicken 

I don’t remember from where I got this recipe. When I was searching for some chicken recipes in my diary I got this recipe suddenly out in the middle of the page. This recipe doesn’t need the usual chillipowder, onions and tomatoes. Just marinating and frying makes the dish extra-ordinary. 

We enjoyed having it with jeera rice and even the usual sambhar and rasam are the best choice to accompany.

Preparation time: 2 hours (includes the marination time)

Cooking time: 30-45 minutes

Ingredients

500g chicken (cut into small chunks)

1 onion (finely chopped)

Salt

Lemon juice (optional)

Turmeric powder

To grind

6 green chillies

Few mint and coriander leaves

4-5 garlic pods

1 inch ginger

1tsp cumin seeds

2tsp black pepper

How to make it

• Clean the chicken pieces and some turmeric powder to it. Keep aside.

• Make a smooth paste of the items given and marinate the chicken chunks for about 1-2 hours. If u need add lemon juice and marinate.

• In wok heat oil, sauté onions till transparent.

• Roast the marinated chicken pieces in medium flame till golden brown.

Notes

• Original recipe includes deep frying the chicken in hot oil. Just to avoid deep frying step I have tried this method. I don’t find any difference in taste. But this method consumes more time.
• If u are following the deep frying method just skip the onion part.
