  • The amount of red chillies given here is for bit spicier version,can alter according to your taste.
  • Using shallots gives a nice flavor and taste to this fry so try to use shallots,if not use a large onion for this amount of chicken.
  • Cook it in a medium flame and if you feel the fry is very dry add another tsp of oil after the chicken cooked completely.
  • If you are adding the coconut bits,add it along with the shallots and let it fry along with the shallots.
  • If you want the fry to be milder,remove the seeds from the red chillies.
  • Here I used the fat garlic cloves,if its a smaller variety then use atleast 10-12 cloves.
  • Marinating with ginger & garlic paste is purely optional.
