Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken fillets cut into bite sized pieces (I used thigh fillets)
  • Few curry leaves
  • Oil for deep frying

For marination:

  • 1 sprig curry leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 and ½ - 2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon rice flour
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Combine together all the ingredients for marination – curry leaves, ginger, garlic, ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala, red chilly powder, rice flour, lemon juice, and enough salt – in a large bowl. Add water (if needed) to make a smooth paste.
  • Use this paste to marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • To make fried thattukada chicken, heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough, slide in chicken pieces. ( in this recipe, the chicken is deep fried. So make sure you’ve enough oil in the pan). When one side is done, flip over to cook the other side.
  • When chicken is nearly done, add curry leaves and fry along with the chicken. Drain on an absorbent towel. Serve warm.
