Thattukada Kozhi Porichathe (Chicken Fry)

 Hi Friends! How are you all doing today? It's Hello time to Thattukada Kozhi Porichathe today on Thenga Chamanthi. There have been several names for chicken fry called Thattukada Chicken Fry /Kerala Thattukada Style Chicken Fry or just simple Kozhi Porichathe . This has been my all time comforting food at home during childhood and still on with the same. I love to have chicken fry with chapati. Being in Bangalore for a long time and craving for outside food, we came across Poricha Kozhi near my hostel from a Kerala restaurant. It took me many years to have the same taste and tried to cook this fry at home. Today, I am too happy to see my son loving the same chicken fry. Made him many fry recipes, he loves them all.. But this dish stood out for him. So, here's the Thattukada Kozhi Porichate from my kitchen to you all .. give it a try today.. Have a great weekend friend. Stay home and Stay Safe :)
