Pepper Chicken Fry | Dry Pepper Chicken Fry | How to make Chicken Fry

Pepper Chicken Fry tops the menu list for any weekend parties. Though there are many types of Chicken Fry recipes this is the most liked and popular item. We can have this along with Sambar or any Lentil soup.
Pepper Chicken smells aromatic if made with freshly ground Masalas, I have given below the recipe for Pepper Chicken Masala powder in South Indian style, for ready reference. Generally, in Pepper Chicken recipes, the spiciness of Red Chilli Powder is less and the intensity of Black Pepper is more. In this style, I made it semi dry so that you can have it by mixing with Rice. This tastes better with Puris than with Rotis.
Though it is very easy to make at home, unless we follow some Tips we do not get the Restaurant taste.

Tips
Chicken:
-
Chicken should be of medium size and if the pieces are too small, they tend to become even smaller after they are fried.
-
Before frying, rinse the Chicken pieces and soak them in Salt Water so that they absorb Salt and taste good.
-
Fry in the Oil on a high flame to get rid of the water that is in the Chicken.
MASALA:
- Roast all the ingredients evenly on low flame to get an aromatic powder.
FEW MORE TIPS:
-
We have to be a little generous with the Oil to get the right taste.
-
To get that Restaurant Taste, use an Iron pan and not a non-stick pan.
