Pichapotta Kozhi Varuval (shredded chicken fry)

This is a rush hour dish. I had to cook something immediately when unexpected guests had come.
I tried this and it came out well .Even children liked it.
Actually this is the way I used to cook vegetables once upon a time. So I applied the same but with little variation.

Chicken - 1 lb
Saunf/Sombhu-1/4 tsp
onion- 1 medium sliced
green chillies-4 slit
ginger garlic paste- 1tbsp
pepper pwd- 1/2 tsp
turmeric pwd- 1/2 tsp
dhania pwd- 1 tsp
jeera pwd- 1/4 tsp
garam masala- 1/2 tsp
curry leaves- 1 sprig.
coriander leaves- 1 tsp chopped.
Salt - to taste
oil- 4 tsp

Method:
Boil chicken in a pressure cooker with 1 cup water,little salt and turmeric pwd.Give 2-3 whistles.
Shred the chicken and keep aside.Heat oil in a kadai.
When hot add saunf,onions,curry leaves, green chillies and fry well.
Now add ginger garlic paste.Saute well.Add all the powders.
Now add chicken also.Mix well.let it cook for 2 minutes.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

  2. If you had used chicken breasts,then it is difficult get the taste.chicken breasts have a rubbery sort of texture and take long time to absorb the masala.
    Try with chicken thighs,they are more juicy.
