Easy and Simple Chicken Fry

This easy and simple chicken fry is a delicious starter with chicken boneless. You can serve this along with main course or as a starter too.

I know I already have way too many chicken recipes cooked in different styles like stir fried, deep fried, semi gravy and so many other ways.

Yet, when we try a new method because we are bored to cook the same version, and it becomes a super hit with the family, I have to record it right.

So this spicy chicken fry has been a regular one since the last few months. If you ask me whats different in this recipe, then no, nothing is changed, all the ingredients used are easily available and I must have already cooked it in different styles. Yet this is different.

I have a whole lot of Chicken starters you can check. If you are looking for some vegetarian starters, check the paneer starters I have! This dish can be served as a side dish for chapati too similar to this Chicken Thokku I make.

Ingredients

For Chicken Marinade

Chicken - We use boneless chicken chopped into bite size pieces. For the marination, you can mix salt, turmeric, chili powder to the drained chicken and keep it aside until the other ingredients get cooked.

For the Fry

Whole Spices - We use Shah Jeera and Bay Leaves

Spice powders - Coriander Powder, Roasted Cumin Powder and Garam Masala is used during cooking.

For Spice - We use both green chilies, red chili powder for the spice. This dish is quite spicy as we add both green chilies and powder as well.

Onions and Tomatoes - We use very finely chopped onions so that it gives body to the fry. Add tomato chunks makes the fry different. We can always add as puree, however, as chunks it tastes better.

Herbs - Curry leaves and Coriander leaves are a must for this fry. So do not skip it.
