Chicken Thoran

It is a quick chicken recipe which can be made in 30 to 40 mints. This is a popular dish in the region adjoining Trivandrum (my native place). I got this recipe through my ammumma(my guru in cooking :) )...It tastes too good with rice.

Ingredients:

  • Chicken-1/2 kg
  • Salt to taste

For Grinding:

  • Grated coconut-1/2 cup
  • Small onion-4
  • Turmeric powder-2 tspoon
  • Chilly powder-3 tspoon
  • Cumin seed-1 tspoon

For Tempering:

  • Oil-1 tspoon
  • Dry red chilly-2
  • Cumin seed-1/2 tspoon
  • Mustard-1 tspoon
  • Curry leaves-1 pinch

Preparation:

(1) Wash and clean chicken. Cut into small pieces.

(2) Grind all the ingredients shown under "for grinding" heading in a mixer. Make a coarse mixture (just like you make for vegatable thoran).

(3) Heat a large pan and add chicken along with the grinded coconut mixture. Add salt. Also add 1 cup of water. Mix well. Boil the chicken by closing the lid for 20 to 25 minutes.

(4)  Now chicken will be cooked well. Don't retain water in it.

(4) Heat oil in a pan and season the ingredients shown under "for tempering" table. Pour it to the boiled chicken.


 Your chicken thoran is ready. Have it with rice.
