Chicken Pepper Fry - Coorg

Coorgi food is one of my favourite cuisines ! It's a distinct and unusual cuisine because their dishes are sort of tangy and spicy at the same time ! My friend Shonali and her mother Taj have shared some of their family recipes with me and I have always loved everything they cook. For those who haven't yet been to Coorg, its a fabulous and beautiful place!

Marinate

1 medium sized chicken cut into pieces

1 teaspooon turmeric
salt
1 tablespoon rice flour
Pepper 1 tbsp (ground with water)


1 large onion (sliced fine)

1 big pod garlic (peeled and crushed)

1 ½ tbsp Oil for seasoning

¼ tsp jeera (cumin seeds)

4 – 5 cloves

8 – 9 garlic cloves

½" piece fresh ginger


a few whole small madras onions

3 – 4 slit green chillies

2 Tbsp Coriander (chopped)


Method

Heat oil, fry garlic and onions till translucent
