Shredded Chicken Fry / Idicha Kozhi Varuval


 During my last India trip I had a chance to have this fry in a restaurant.The name looks so different and we wanted to give a try.So ordered one plate and it was a huge hit among kids.They liked it a lot and we had order two more plates as we were 5 families.

It was in the appetizer menu and served along with some salad and parota bites(parota was cut into small bite size).After tasting it I was able to make out the ingredients in it and recreated it after coming to US.

This is one of the easiest chicken preparation I have made and takes only 20 minutes to finish of the dish.While the chicken is cooking,do the rest of the preparation and once the chicken cooked,shred it and add it to the masala.The chicken here cooks very fast so I prefer to cook in a open pot.To reduce the cooking time one can cook the chicken in pressure cooker for a whistle.

This is one such versatile fry,pairs up very well with roti,rasam rice,bread.The spice powders given here is for a medium spicy.This a dry preparation and if you want it a semi dry curry then go ahead and use another one or two tomatoes.Off to the recipe.....
