Mangalorean Chicken Sukka

I truly love it when a recipe is shared with me, I try it and then it appears on the blog. It makes them super special, doesn’t it? 🙂 I have a few of them on the blog which are very dear to my heart, like this green mutton masala and the chilli chicken, just to name a few. This recipe comes from a dear friend. I have already shared one of her recipes before, which was the Bombay Chicken Biriyani. I have written so much about P in that post, so I think I can skip the long introduction and go straight on to the recipe… 🙂

She would always say how her mother in law would cook traditional Mangalorean fare with loads of coconut. Now being a Malayalee, coconut is a natural obsession so I asked her for this recipe to try, since I was sure it would hit off at home. As soon as she gave me the recipe, I wanted to make it immediately but I felt sick and couldn’t cook it as I had planned. Still, I pulled myself and made it that night and the men licked it up totally from the pan! But what really I like was the aroma – of freshly ground spices, of the coconut… It was totally mesmerizing! From that day, I had wanted to cook it up when I would be able to click decent enough pictures in day light, so prepared it on a Friday for lunch, along with some jeera rice and clicked some good enough (is it?) pictures.

Paprika is definitely not a part of the recipe, but it is P's own twist. So you can very will skip it, but it gives a nice flavor to the dish when added.
