For this week Tamizhar Samayal Tuesday,I am sharing you the famous Pallipalayam chicken fry.Pallipalayam is a place in Erode district in Tamilnadu which quiet famous for chicken dishes.
This chicken fry is a popular in non-vegetariean restaurant menu in Tamilnadu and the recipe sounds similar to the uppu varuval in Chettinadu.
The spiciness and flavor is from the redchillies used and no other special masala is used for this fry.Addition of shallots and garlic along with the dried red chillies makes this fry more flavorful and delicious.This fry tastes good with rasam and curd rice as well as with pulao and biriyani.With no further delay lets move on to the recipe......

Enjoy.....................................................
- The amount of red chillies given here is for bit spicier version,can alter according to your taste.
- Using shallots gives a nice flavor and taste to this fry so try to use shallots,if not use a large onion for this amount of chicken.
- Cook it in a medium flame and if you feel the fry is very dry add another tsp of oil after the chicken cooked completely.
- If you are adding the coconut bits,add it along with the shallots and let it fry along with the shallots.
- If you want the fry to be milder,remove the seeds from the red chillies.
- Here I used the fat garlic cloves,if its a smaller variety then use atleast 10-12 cloves.
- Marinating with ginger & garlic paste is purely optional.
