Pallipalayam Chicken Fry

This recipe is very simple but  very tasty and one of my all time favorites. Not sure if this is originated from the place Pallipalayam near Erode.

Small onions, unseeded red chilies and no extra water added is the secret of the recipe. Chicken with bones is preferred for better taste. This uses more oil, if you dont prefer use less or remove the excess after cooking.

I usually skip garlic, coconut and coriander leaves. Don’t be alarmed with the red chili count, deseeded one tastes less spicy and that is what adds the taste.

We cook mushroom as an alternative for the days you cannot have non-veg.  I used local brown wild mushrooms but any mushroom works.

Chilli Bhaji/Milagai Bajji/Mirchi Bajji

The first thing which comes to mind on a rainy day is a cup of tea and some hot bajji’s. And of course you can pretty much get it at any roadside shop. Batter consistency is very important for making nice crispy bajji’s. The South Indian versions don’t have anything stuffed inside the chilli.
