About the recipe

Chicken can be stir-fried in various ways but this Andhra style fry is definitely close to me because of its spicy taste and the flavour it brings out due to the different spices that go into making it.

The spices that go into making this fry are quite common and are the usual Indian spices and I am making use of green chillies and curry leaves to the dish as this tempering brings out the aroma in the dish.

Also used in the dish are chopped onions and this is an essential ingredient to bring out the perfect taste to the whole dish.

The south indian method of stir fry takes in common ingredients which are very easily available in every household and in every Indian kitchen.

The chicken is stir-fried in spices until it gets soft and all the spices are coated well to the chicken pieces to get the perfect taste. This non-veg tastes well as a side dish or a snack item or as a starter.

Below would be the instructions on how to make this delicious side dish from the south indian region in the south indian style.

Other fry recipes or chicken curries recipes on the blog in non-veg are prawn fry, andhra fish, chicken liver fry etc...

How to make it and tips to get it right

The initial tempering for the recipe is necessary by adding green chillies, curry leaves to give a pleasant aroma to the stir-fried chicken and if these two essential ingredients are skipped then the fry gives a plain boiled chicken aroma.

Chopped onions into the dish give the required gravy and for the chicken to cook well just by roasting. Onions add the best to the chicken while only roasting.

In order to make it flavorful, these ingredients require additional dry spices such as coriander powder, garam masala powder, black pepper powder to the dish.

To make the dish the stir fry chicken and roast well by stirring in between until the chicken tenderizes well.

Stirring while cooking helps to avoid the base of the chicken dish to burn as well as helps to cook the chicken well on each side.

Cooking the dish by adding some freshly chopped coriander or cilantro leaves lifts up the flavours.

Simple dish can be cooked delicious by only few ingredients and by roasting it well.

Note: Do not add any water and the chicken can be roasted well only with the help of water released from the chopped onions.

Which chicken to prefer?

Small cut pieces of chicken or boneless small pieces make a good stir-fried chicken. Using Cut pieces with bones gives the best results.
