Kerala Chicken Curry
Whenever I decided to cook any side dish for my roti, appam or idiyappam, i never make the same curry again, each time i try to make it differently. Few days back i made this curry which has keralan twist to it and it turned out just awesome.
About this Recipe
Kerala cuisine is a culinary style that originated in Kerala, a southern Indian state. Kerala cuisine includes a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes prepared with fish, poultry, and red meat, with rice as a common accompaniment. Chilies, curry leaves, coconut, mustard seeds, turmeric, tamarind, asafoetida, and other spices are also included in the recipe. Kerala style chicken curry is made from an aromatic blend of many spices. It combines the robust, smoky flavours of cumin and fenugreek with the sweet undertones of cinnamon and cardamom, among other things.

Ingredients for Kerala Style Chicken Curry
Black Pepper Powder :
Peppers distinct flavour complements almost any savoury dish, as well as some sweet dishes. If salt helps to bring out flavours, black pepper makes foods more assertive.
Fennel seeds :
Fennel seeds are the dried seeds of the fennel herb, and they resemble cumin seeds but are greener. They taste aniseed and have a warm, sweet aroma. They can be used alone or in spice blends like Chinese five-spice powder and Indian panch phoran.
Kashmiri Chilli Powder :
Kashmiri chiles are tall, thin, wrinkled red chiles that produce a vibrant red powder valued for its colour and mild spiciness. The chilli has a slightly smokey flavour. This powder is used in Indian cooking to add colour to dishes that don't require a lot of heat.
