Kerala Style Chicken Fry (Nadan Kozhi Varuthathu)
A quite simple chicken shallow fry with dried red chilli, ginger-garlic and vinegar. Inspired from Ammu's Chicken fry. Thanks Ammu for introducing it to us 🙂
Ingredients
- ½ kg chicken Boneless
- 14 numbers red chilli Dried
- 7 numbers garlic clove
- 1 number ginger (1" piece)
- ½ Teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10 numbers shallot
- 4 sprigs curry leaves
- coconut oil / vegetable oil /
Instructions
- Clean and dice the chicken into small 1 inch bite-size pieces.
- Grind dried red chilli, garlic, ginger, turmeric powder, vinegar and salt in a mixer.
- Slice shallot or add it to the mixer at the end and just pulse it. I don't prefer to grind shallot completely.
- Marinate chicken with the above ground chilli mix and shallots. Keep it aside for 2 - 4 hrs in the refrigerator.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add marinated chicken and curry leaves. Cook it on low-medium flame for 10 - 15 minutes. Stir it in between. Chicken gets cooked by this time.
- Adjust salt if needed. Add extra vinegar if you want to make it sourer. Add 3-4 tablespoon oil and shallow fry/ roast chicken in medium flame until it gets the brownish texture. It might take around 15 - 20 minutes. Shallots, garlic and ginger, gets roasted well along with the chicken.
- Serve it with some freshly sliced onions. Enjoy 🙂

This recipe is so good.
Thanks Rajashree!
I tried this with curry cut chicken and it worked fabulously well… used coconut oil too. As a middle aged man who has taken up cooking on Sundays during the lockdown, I find your recipes very easy to follow not to mention the yummy outcomes - my teenage kids, my wife and my elderly parents simple loved it! Thank you!
Thanks for trying it out, Cyriac!! Can you post pictures next time?
