Preparation of Chicken Thoran

Clean and cut chicken into small pieces. Marinate the chicken with salt, turmeric powder and red chilly powder. Keep marinated chicken inside the refrigerator at least for half an hour.

Heat a pan and pour sufficient oil and saute onion till it gets the golden color. Add chopped ginger, garlic and green chili and saute it for some time. Put marinated chicken into the fried onion and stir it well. Close the pan with a tight lid and cook for 15 minutes in a medium flame.

Now stir chicken and add salt & garam masala. While continuing stirring, add crushed coconut. Check the salt and level of spiciness. Add more salt or chilies as required. Close the lid and cook for 10 more minutes. At the final stage (all water disappears at this stage), check if chicken got cooked well and add fresh curry leaves into this.

Chicken thoran makes a good combination with puttu, dosa, rice or chapathi.
