Andhra Chicken Fry / Andhra Kodi Vepudu

Recipe Source : Kanthamani Vantakalu (a telugu cook book)

This chicken fry is quite regular at home which is tried and tasted so many times and sure is a winner.



For Marinade :
Note: I have used big chicken pieces here but for this fry small to medium pieces are better choice.

IngredientsQuantity
Chicken 500 grams
Chilli Powder2 tsp
Ginger Garlic Paste 1 tbsp
Turmeric1/2 tsp
Onion1/2 of a medium one ground into a paste
Water1/2 cup

For Masala Powder: (For this dish we need only half of the ground powder. I have mentioned double the quantities as it is difficult to grind small quantities )

Method:
1. Clean the chicken and pat it dry . Mix the chicken with all the ingredients listed in marinade.
2. Take a vessel add chicken along with water cook until it is 3/4 cooked this took me approximately 10 -12 minutes.
3.For masala powder , heat ghee in a small pan add all the ingredients fry until they turn brown . Grind them into fine powder once they are cooled down. We are going to use only half of this powder.
3.Heat oil in a pan , add green chillies fry them for 30 secs . Now add onions , salt and fry until they are transparent.
4.Now add chicken along with remaining water and fry until all the water is evaporated and the onion mixture sticks to chicken and it is fully cooked.
