Shredded chicken fry

Last Friday was my dad's birthday and I decided to cook one of his favorites. It took me a long time to decide what to make and finally chose to make pichu pota kozhi fry (shredded chicken fry). My dad took us often to a restuarant called Ponnuswamy in chennai. Most of the times he would order this dish and so I thought why not try this dish out. I did not have a recipe for this but just went with my instincts and came up with this dish. It did come out well and I am sure I will be making it often in the future. So this one is exclusively for my dad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

Ingredients:

Chicken (cut into small pieces) - 200gms
Turmeric - a pinch
Onions (finely chopped) - 1
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Green chillies - 3
Cumin (Jeera) powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1 tsp
Salt - as needed
Oil - 4 tbsp

Method:

Boil 2 cups of water and add salt, turmeric and the chicken pieces and let cook for 15 min. Remove chicken from water, let it cool and then shred into small pieces by hand. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions and sliced green chillies. Fry till the onions turn golden brown and then add curry leaves, shredded chicken, coriander powder, cumin powder, pepper powder and salt. Fry in low heat till the chicken pieces are coated well with the masala and the dish becomes dry. Serve hot with rice and sambar. Infact it tastes good just by itself.
