ABOUT Oriental Chicken RECIPE

This is a very authentic Kerala chicken fry that has been given a twist by the addition of soy sauce. The sauce completely changes the taste of the dish to a different level. You should try it out.

Instructions

Wash the chicken well cut it into pieces, put it in a bowl.
Add salt, chilli powder and turmeric to this.
Marinate the chicken with these spices and keep it aside covered for at least 2 hours.
After 2 hours, transfer the marinated chicken to a heavy bottomed kadai.
Cook the chicken on low flame covered with a tight fitting lid. The chicken will let out water while cooking so there isn't any need to add water to cook the chicken.
If the chicken is fully cooked but there is still water in the pan, then you will have to turn the flame to high, cook till all the water dries up. Please make sure not to burn the chicken.
When the chicken is fully cooked, now reduce the flame, add the soy sauce and coat the chicken nicely in the sauce.
When the chicken sucks up all the sauce, add 2 tbsp coconut oil n coat the chicken nicely in the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on low flame. Add curry leaves and mix everything together. The chicken needs to be nice and brown.
Turn off the gas.
In another kadai add coconut oil, add the skit green chillies, ginger juliennes and saute well.
Add the thinly sliced onions and saute till the onions become translucent.
Add curry leaves to this and fry well.
Add this to the chicken and saute everything together for half a minute. Turn off the gas.
