Karthiga
For the anjappar pepper curry what chicken to use?boneless skinless ? also how long to cook in the pressure cooker? also should I wate rwhile cooking in the cooker>?
sorry for silly questions
anandchitra

 

Dear AnandChitra,

You need not pressure cook Chicken at all unless it is Country chicken.
Broiler chicken need not be pressure cooked. What you get as boneless chicken in the shops is pre cleaned and skinned. You can cut into small pieces and cook as per the recipe.
If you buy it from the butchers , then clean , remove the skin and then cut it into small pieces. Then you can follow the recipe as Karthiga has given.
All the best
Latha

 

Hello anandchitra,
Yes chitra,as latha said, you need not add any water with broiler chicken, unless you need a lot of gravy. this pepper curry is a thick gravy dish as we get in hotels, so water in the masala you grind is more enough. pls send me the fb abt the recipe.

Re: Chicken Recipe

Chicken wings is the rite choice...other than boneless chicken u can try anything...

 

Dear Karthiga,

I tried your Anjappar Pepper Chicken. I didn't make it the gravy type, left out tomatoes and coconut. Added a little vinegar in the last stage, it came out very well.
Because we add coconut to most of the dishes we make I leave it out for the non-veg dishes, I cook. That's all.
But even without coconut it came out very nice and tasty. My husband loved it.
Love

Meen Pollichathu

(for 1/2 or 1 kg of fish):
Onions (big) - 1 or 2 (slice it long)
Green chilli - 2 (cut it into long pieces)
Ginger - a piece (cut it into long pieces)
Coconut - half (grated)
Oil - 2 tablespoon
Chilli powder - 1 or 1 and a 1/2 tablespoon
Coriander powder - 2 tablespoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Curry leaves

Grind the coconut with a bit of water, squeeze it and strain the milk, and keep that 'thala paal' separate; add a cup of water to the coconut again and squeeze and strain it again and collect that milk in a separate bowl; do the same once more.

Put a flat, but quite deep pan on the stove, pour the oil and when the oil is hot, add the sliced onions, green chilli, ginger and curry leaves, and stir until it is light brown. Then add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and chilli powder to it and stir for few seconds and then add the coconut milk (not 'thala paal'), and when it starts boiling, add the fish pieces, cover it and cook for few minutes in medium flame (make sure that it wont overflow), and then let the water evaporate until the gravy is quite thick; then add the 'thala paal' and take it off before it boils, so that it wont go watery again. Serve when hot.

Note 1: You can use desicated coconut instead. Soak two cups of it in boiled water for half an hour and then use. I dont know if the taste will be different, but the fresh coconut that we get here also are not good, as it is imported from Fiji, Malaysia, Srilanka, etc. and so takes months to reach here in the ship.

Note 2: Actually this curry is made by placing a banana leaf on the pan, and adding all the ingredients to it and cook it and serve, which has a real distinct, nice taste.
