PEPPER CHICKEN & ARI PATHIRI



So, finally I am doing the post on that curry on the header! I have been asked over and over by so many about what that dish was all about! That photograph did create a buzz more that I expected it to! :) It was nothing but a simple, delicious chicken curry that I made recently to go along with Ari Pathiri - a flat bread made using groud rice flour...a speciality from my hometown, Kannur.

 Ari Pathiri was my favourite in school. My friend, Shabnam , used to get it to school in her lunch box everyday.And she was so generous ...she used to give me all of it! And I used to share whatever I had.


This chicken curry is no-one's recipe, but mine. One thing I realised li'l late was, I cannot refer a cookbook for curry! I have no idea why, because cookbooks are my bed-time story books! But, when it comes to curry, yes, I can read through and drool over the pics...but, never follow one! I always want to follow my heart and throw the ingredients in together according to my heart's desire!


PEPPER CHICKEN
My own recipe

Ingredients:
Chicken- 1 kg, cut & cleaned
Onions- 2 , large cut into fine slices
Tomatoes- 2, medium chopped
Freshly ground pepper- 5-6 tbsp
Coriander powder- 1/2 tbsp
Corainder leaves/Cilantro- 1 bunch,chopped
Oil- 5 tbsp
Salt to taste  

Method:
  • Heat oil, add onions and saute till soft and translucent.
  • Add in the tomatoes and saute till soft.

ARI PATHIRI
My own recipe

Ingredients:
Rice flour- 1 cup
Water-1 cup
Oil-2 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:
  •  Boil water with salt and oil.
  • When it starts bubbling furiously ,switch of the fire,add the rice flour and stir it well with a spoon.
  • Close the vessel with a lid and leave for 5 mins.
  • Mix well (Be careful, it is really hot!) and divide them into portions.
  • Oil your palm and rolling pin & roll them out on a piece of clingfilm (so that it doesn't stick).
  • Cook them on medium heat on a tawa or a flat bottomed non-stick pan.
  • Try not to over cook them (too many brown spots) so that it doesn't feel dry when you eat them.
  • As soon as they are cooked, transfer them into an insulated container so that it stays warm and soft.

    Pepper chicken has always been my family's favorite and mine too as its so quick to make and tastes awesome.
    Pathiri I've never made but had once at my friends place who belonged to Mangalore and somehow always assumed that it must be very tough to make but now I think I can give it a try and hope it will taste as awesome as I've had last time and look as good as ur picture.

    Ari pathiri is something totally new! I've already handed the recipe to my cook, I can't wait to try it! Though of course he tends to 'add his own touch' a little too much!
