Kerala Fried Chicke is a true delight from the vibrant state of Kerala in South India. Succulent pieces of chicken, marinated to perfection with a blend of aromatic spices, bringing a burst of flavor to every bite. 
The secret lies in the unique spice mix used to marinate the chicken. A fragrant blend of coriander, cumin, turmeric, black pepper, and other spices creates a rich, golden coating around the chicken pieces. The flavors are further enhanced with the addition of curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and green chilies, infusing the chicken with a tantalizing aroma.

Kerala Fried Chicken is a true culinary gem, representing the bold and distinctive flavors of the region. Its tantalizing aroma and delightful blend of spices make it a favorite among food enthusiasts seeking a unique and flavorful fried chicken experience. 

Ingredients:

• 1 kg chicken pieces (skin-on or boneless, as per your preference)
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon red chili powder
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
• 1 sprig curry leaves, finely chopped
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder, curry leaves, green chilies, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight for more intense flavors).
3. Heat oil in a deep pan or deep fryer for frying. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
4. Carefully place the marinated chicken pieces in the hot oil, without overcrowding the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
5. Fry the chicken pieces on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside. This should take around 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken pieces from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Serve the Kerala Fried Chicken hot and enjoy the burst of flavors with each bite.
