Whole Chicken Fry Recipe - Poricha Kozhi

Whole Chicken Fry Recipe - Poricha Kozhi - Kerala Recipes

Poricha Kozhi or whole chicken fry with spring chicken is another family favourite which I mostly make on the weekends when Nidhi comes home from hostel. Spring chicken are small and each weighs under 500 gms, though I do not know whether this chicken has any other name (if you know, pls let me know).

Poricha kozhi translated as chicken fry is very popular in Kozhikode; there is a hotel near the beach known as the Bombay Hotel and they serve amazing poricha kozhi (whole chicken fried) and they stuff with boiled eggs and then deep fry. If you ever get a chance, do visit that hotel and enjoy pure Malabar dishes.

No, I did not stuff anything when I made this as, I am addicted to easy and quick cooking when Nidhi is home, I try to cook everything fast and try to be with her as much as possible. So, this one is a really quick and easy recipe and can also be a show stopper at the dinner table.
