Hi guys! This is your hottest chef on the internet, Chef Prateek Dhawan
with the hottest recipe of the week, in today's recipe,
we are going to travel to the streets of Kerala and there we are going to make
Payyoli Chicken Fry.
So, let's start cooking.
For Kerala Payyoli Chicken Fry,
first, we'll make the chilli paste mix for the marination
we'll first soak the chillies in hot water...
and set it aside for 10 minutes.
Now, we will take pieces of Chicken.
Start scoring them.
After soaking the chillies for 10 mins it has gone soft.
Now, I'm going to transfer it into the blending jar.
Just remove the stems
and we'll transfer all the chillies into the jar.
To this, I'm going to add Garlic Cloves.
Ginger slices.
Fennel Seeds
and a few pieces of Shallots.
Now, let's coarsely blend it.
And our chilli paste is now ready.
I'll transfer it all into a bowl.
From this, I'm going to take ¼th of the portion.
For the marination in a bowl, I'm going to take Rice flour.
To that, I'm going to add Corn Flour.
In that I'm going to add Salt.
Turmeric Powder.
Cumin Powder.
Garam Masala.
Along with ¾th of the chilli paste which we made earlier.
In that, I'm going to add Coconut Oil.
To get a proper consistency in the marination we are going to drizzle some water.
Whisk the marination nicely.
After mixing the marination nicely, let's add in the chicken leg
which we had scored earlier.
Now, let's mix all the chicken legs in the marination.
So that the marination goes deep within
and also you get a beautiful flavour once the chicken is ready.
While the chicken is resting, we'll move to the next step, that is the garnishes.
There are two types of garnish, in first garnish we will throw in some Green Chillies.
With the Green Chillies, I'm going to also add in a few Curry Leaves.
And once the curry leaves start crackling, I'm going to remove them out.
For the second type of garnish mix the grated coconut
with the ¼th of the Red Chilli Paste which we made earlier.
After mixing the chilli paste with the coconut
we'll transfer it back into the same pan which we had fried the first garnish before
and cook it till we get golden brown colour.
Once we see the colour changing of the coconut transfer it into a pan
and leave it aside till you finish the final preparation.
Now that both our marination is ready it is time to start frying the chicken for that
I'm going to heat the same pan, add coconut oil to it.
Once the oil starts heating up, we'll start putting the chicken legs into the pan.
Slowly put one chicken piece at a time...
and cook them for at least 15-20 mins or till the time they are well done.
Now, we are starting with the second batch.
Now that we are done frying an entire batch of chicken
with that we'll start off with the plating.
And to accompany it,
some Lemon Slice on the side.
And there you go guys this Kerala appetizer is now ready.

and do let me know how it turned out in the comment section below.
I'll see you soon in the next episode, till then take good care of yourself
and keep cooking.
