This is a Kerala style chicken recipe chicken fry without oil
Chicken here is cooked with coconut milk
Chicken needs to be marinated first
To a mixie jar, add cloves, cardamoms, cinnamon sticks, pepper, fried cumin seeds, fried coriander seeds and powder it
Add ginger and garlic cloves. Ginger garlic paste also could be used
Add diced onions and grind it into a paste
Masala is ready now
Let's marinate chicken now.
Here I took 1 kg chicken.
Make cuts in the chicken if the pieces are big. This would allow for the chicken to marinate properly
To cleaned chicken, add 3 teaspoons chilli powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons salt or salt to taste, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, prepared masala paste and mix
Let it sit for 1/2 hour. You can even put it in the fridge
Let's make coconut milk in the mean time
Cut the coconut into pieces
Take the half coconut piece and powder it
Add 1/2 cup water and grind it
Strain the mixture.
Squeeze the leftover coconut mixture in the strainer to extract the coconut milk
Make 1 glass of coconut milk, i.e., around 1/4 litre
Heat a pan with thick base
Add coconut milk, marinated chicken and mix
Close lid and cook on high flame
Keep stirring at regular intervals so that it doesnít burn
We can see the oil floating while cooking. This oil comes from the chicken and coconut milk
After the gravy thickens, turn the stove to low flame
If you need more gravy in the curry, let the chicken be like this
Too fry it dryly, cook till all the water boils away
Add curry leaves, coriander leaves and roast for 5 minutes on low flame
Serve hot!
Healthy Chicken Fry is one of the tastiest zero oil added recipe which is prepared with indian spices and lemon juice. the healthy chicken fry without oil fry can be served as starter or stuffed in roti / chapati or with rice which is my favourite. Even without adding oil this recipe tastes yummy because by default fat content in chicken helps in adding more flavour and important thing is you need to cook in non stick pan
