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.
