Kothu Kozhi Recipe

My perippa(uncle) used to get this kothu kozhi along with some crispy fried parota when we were little. Since this chicken dish doesn't have any bones in them, we as a kid loved it. We were used to spicy dishes even as a kid. This taste so good with those parota and salna.

Thinking of that makes my mouth water even now. Later on as we grew up we started eating fried masala chicken with parotta and started sucking up the bones. Eventually we forgot about this dish.

Few month back, hubby bought this for me and it reminded me of my childhood days immediately. I just wanted to make this recipe and post it here to share with you all. Last week i asked hubby to get some chicken for me to make this dish. When i was sitting with the chicken and thinking about the recipe, i remembered the recipe which my collegue gave me long before. He told me that whenever you make kothu kozhi or any dry dish, specially any street food recipes like chukka mutton or chicken masala, he used to just sprinkle some roasted powdered gram dal towards the end. That just binds the whole stuff together and make it more tasty. I followed that step and amazingly this tasted so yum, just like the ones which i had when i was little. 

So here is the recipe for you, don't get scared by the long list of ingredients. It is so worth it.

How to Make Kothu Kozhi Recipe

1. Take all the grinding ingredients in a blender and make into a fine puree. 
2. Take chicken, grounded masala in a pressure cooker and cook it for 5 to 6 whistle. Now switch off the flame and let the pressure go all by itself. 
3. Open the pressure cooker and separate the chicken pieces and the leftover masala. Keep the masala aside till use.
4. Now debone the chicken pieces and set the shredded chicken aside till use.
5. Heat oil in a large kadai. Add in fennel seeds, onions, green chilli, curry leaves to that and saute for a couple of mins.
6. ginger garlic paste and saute for a min till raw smell goes away.
7. Add in salt, the spice powders and mix well.
