Pepper Chicken Fry is a dry chicken roast made with only pepper for spice and makes a delicious starter or a side dish in a meal.
This Pepper chicken fry has sort of becoming regular at home for Sunday Lunch. As it happens, there is a period for one particular dish to be repeated almost every week and of late this has become one.
Kids love dry fries, so we either make Chicken 65 or some dry roast like this. We try to avoid deep frying nonveg as we don't reuse the oil. So we end up wasting so much oil. To avoid that, we resort to other dry roasts like this or something else
Since I have only been cooking it a couple of times without clicking pictures of this dish, I decided to do a post as the other Pepper chicken Fry is a different recipe.
So for the final day of Bookmarked recipes for Bm#89, I have yet another recipe from Amma. If you want more ideas, check out the Chicken Starters collection
When I was reading another post, I just realized that my blog anniversary went by without me even remembering it. It's been eleven years of blogging! I know I should surely celebrate the milestone.

Congratulations on 11 long years of blogging. If someone would have asked me what a blog was 11 years ago I'd have no idea.
Harini says

Congrats Valli on the eleven years of blogging. The chicken fry looks really good. I make a similar version daily for my lunch and still haven't got bored of it. Adding cashews will add some nice crunch to the dish..
Renu says
This looks delicious. I have made a similar version with chicken and mushrooms. It is same at my place, one dish becomes favorite and everyone is fond of it for sometime and then it is lost for months.
