How to make chicken sukka?
This uses mainly chicken and some of the basic ingredients which are handy and usually available at home like onions, tomatoes, coconut, dry spices, curry leaves, herbs etc...
Here, I have made use of desiccated coconut but the taste of the dish turns out even more yum if fresh coconut powder is used as well.
How to use fresh coconut?
In south india, fresh coconut is easily available and one can easily make its powder by removing the fresh coconut from its shell, cutting the coconut into pieces and making a powder by blending the fresh coconut in a blender.
The fresh coconut can then be roasted on low flame in a pan until all the moisture goes away.
Easy or difficult?
It is a very simple and easy dish once the masala paste is ready and it just takes the simple cooking time which a normal chicken curry takes and is a semi gravy curry recipe.
Chicken sukka tastes good if slow cooked and is one of the yummiest chicken curries made in south indian regions.
Below I have shared the recipe instructions on how to make this simple south indian mangalorean style chicken sukka.
