An absolute favourite from the kitchens of Tamilnadu. If you enjoy the flavour of pepper, you will enjoy this one. You can have it with bread, parathas, chapati, pulav or white rice too. This authentic recipe has been passed down from my great grandmother and is relished by all.
Ingredients:
Chicken – 1 kg
Pepper – 1 1/2 tsp
Coriander Seeds – 2 tsp
Green chillies – 2
Onions – 2 big
Ginger garlic paste – 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Pudina or Mint leaves – a handful chopped (optional)
Coriander leaves – a handful chopped
Curry leaf – 1 sprig
Oil – 2 tbsp
Preparation:
Dry roast the pepper and coriander seeds and powder them fine. Heat oil, add the finely chopped onions and the green chillies slit lengthwise. Next, add the ginger-garlic paste and saute well. Add in the mint leaves, coriander leaves and saute again. Next in goes the chicken cut into pieces and the turmeric powder. Fry it well and add the curry leaves and the powder (pepper and coriander seeds). Saute well until the oil gets separated from the sides. Remove and serve garnished with curry leaf.
