Pepper Chicken (Boneless) Fry Kerala(Indian) Style/ Pepper Chicken Roast/ Kozhi kurumullaku Roast

Hi friends how do you do? I have not posted quite some time! I know Christmas is around the corner and all are busy to celebrate Xmas with family and friends. Did you hang Xmas stars at home? Display and decorate your Christmas tree? Have you soaked dry fruits and nuts for Xmas Fruit/Plum Cake? I did all and I hope you did that too 🙂
Here in Singapore, schools are closed after a tiring year and my kids are celebrating their holidays with the season of joy. So now days I am spending more time for them, especially in the kitchen to increase the quality of their joy and happiness and try to experiment more dishes desired by my kids. This Kerala style pepper chicken is one of the recipes from that list. When we were holidaying in Kerala, my kids love to order this tasty and spicy pepper chicken roast/fry with Porota/Prata or Chappathi from Kerala restaurants. Now days they started to ask me “Mummy enu dinner nu chappathi and pepper chicken mathi” (Mom, today we want chappathi and pepper chicken) and after that they complimented “ethu annu nattil kazhicha pole undu” (it feels like we ate like from Kerala restaurant) 🙂 Yeah! That’s a great achievement for me because they always remember my mother land Kerala through its authentic tastes 🙂 also a great inspiration for Kerala home cooking moms staying abroad like me 🙂
Pepper chicken is a great recipe for parties and festivals and I think after reading my post and recipe some of you will try this simple recipe for this Christmas season 🙂 It is a great combination with chappathi, also edivettu (excellent) combo with boiled rice and rasam or moru 😀 Try and enjoy 🙂
