Have you had the chance to try the tasty chicken fry from Aaya Kadai restaurant in Erode, Tamil Nadu? Although I haven’t had the opportunity to taste it from the restaurant itself, I came across the recipe online and decided to give it a try.
To make it, you’ll need fresh chicken(Country chicken/நாட்டு கோழி), shallots, dry red chilli, salt, and turmeric powder, cooked perfectly in cold-pressed groundnut oil. It’s a simple recipe, but it’s important to use fresh ingredients and a good quality, heavy-bottomed pan. Cooking it on a low flame for 40 to 45 minutes will give you the best results.
The process involves sautéing the onions until golden brown, then adding the chicken and letting it cook until the chilli and onion form a thick sauce. Trust me, the end result is amazing, and your taste buds will thank you!
