Sharing is caring!

Kodi Vepudu or Andhra Style Chicken Fry is easy to make and quick one to fix on your busy weekend lunch. This uses your pantry essentials and doesn’t call for elaborate ingredients.

This easy fry was something that my cousin shared with us when she visited us and we were talking about how she makes the fry. Amma also recollected that it was one of the methods she used to make many years ago.

Now with so many recipes and new tastes, this simple one didn’t get to feature at all. Just to make sure I haven’t already shared something like this, I searched my collection of 50+ Chicken dry sautes that work as a starter and a side dish for any meal.

We are starting the final week of BM#105 and I will be sharing recipes with the theme, Pick one country, Pick one category. Since things seem to go downhill offlate when it comes to cooking and blogging, I ended up selecting Indian Cuisine with Dry saute as the category.

So first in the series is this easy Chicken Fry.
