The main ingredient in this recipe is cumin seeds/Jeerakam, a spice well known around. Cumin lends its distinctive flavor to chili, tamales, and various Indian curries.

Cumin & its medicinal value

What’s more, cumin has long been used in traditional medicine. Cumin helps in promoting digestion, weight loss & it also improves blood sugar control & cholesterol.

How to make chicken coconut fry?

We use only 2 masala powders for this recipe and a generous amount of cumin seeds. It’s a semi-dry dish type.  We use ready-made meat masala/chicken masala powder & garam masala powder as the only masala powders here.

Firstly we will be marinating chicken pieces for 5min. Followed by cooking the marinated chicken pieces separately & then temper it along with grated coconut, allowing chicken to get roasted in this tempering for a while.
