🔥 Chicken Pallipalayam Recipe (English)

🐔 Ingredients:

  • Chicken – 500 g (with bone, medium pieces)
  • Shallots (small onions) – 1 cup (roughly chopped)
  • Dry red chillies – 10 to 15 (adjust to taste)
  • Garlic – 10 cloves (crushed)
  • Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
  • Grated coconut – 3 tbsp (optional but traditional)
  • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Gingelly oil (or coconut oil) – 3 to 4 tbsp

🍳 Preparation Steps:

  1. Heat oil in a kadai (preferably gingelly oil for authentic taste).
  2. Add dry red chillies (break them slightly) and sauté until aromatic.
  3. Add crushed garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté till golden brown.
  4. Add curry leaves and cook for a few seconds.
  5. Now add chicken pieces, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
  6. Cook uncovered on medium flame for 5–6 mins until the chicken releases water.
  7. Cover and cook on low flame till chicken is tender and oil separates (about 20 mins).
  8. Add grated coconut and sauté for 3–5 mins till dry and roasted.
  9. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Turn off when dry and oil floats.

📝 Tips:

  • Use naatu kozhi (country chicken) for best flavor, cook longer if so.
  • Adjust red chillies for spice level – it’s meant to be fiery!
  • Do not add tomatoes or garam masala – this is a rustic dish.

🍗 Result: A dry, spicy, and flavorful chicken dish perfect with rice, rasam, or parotta.
