Chicken Ularthiyathu/Slow Roasted Chicken...step by step.



This is Amma's chicken ularthiyathu akka slow roasted chicken. The most sought after dish during my childhood. This goes with everything from plain rice to fried rice to roti to appam or even with plain bread. I love this so much that making it brings back memories of childhood and Amma's kitchen.

Chicken is cooked along with spices and then sauted in pure virgin coconut oil.

How Amma Makes it:
Chicken: 1 kg.
Onion: 2 sliced.
Ball Tomatoes: 3 pureed.
Ginger: 1, inch, grated or minced.
Garlic: 2 pods, grated or minced.
Green chilly: 2 or 3 slit.
Vinegar: 1 tbsp.
Kashmiri Chilly powder: 3 tsp (increase or decrease according to your tolerance level).
Fresh coriander powder: 2 tsp.
Turmeric powder: 1/2 tsp.
Garam masala: 1 tsp.
Fresh pepper powder: 1 tsp.
Curry leaves.
Coconut oil.
Slivered coconut pieces: 1/2 cup (optional).
Dry whole red chillies: 3, broken.
Salt to taste/about 1 tsp.

Method:

1. Put chicken in a deep bottomed pan along with pureed tomato, red chilly powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.

2. Let it cook until the excess water is almost evaporated.

3. In another large pan, heat 3 or 4 tbsp of coconut oil. If you are using slivered coconut pieces add them and fry them till light brown and keep them aside. Now add the onion, green chilies, 2 or 3 dried red chillies broken, and curry leaves, let it fry till light brown. I used very little oil and you can make in a nonstick pan with less oil.

4. Put the cooked chicken into the browned onions. Let it saute on low flame for about 20 to 30 min. Make sure you stir occasionally. Finally add fresh pepper powder.


Serve hot!

Enjoy!

    Nisa,

    You say to use a deep bottom pot/pan.

    How important is that? I have a regular, maybe 8 inch high stainless steal steal pot.

    Will that work fine, or does it need to be a deeper vessel?

      Azhakatha-any pan/pot will do.....you can use kadai or even a big sauce pan...this is just to cook the chicken and the spices....then again you have to saute/slow fry in another pan. hope this helps...

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help...
