Chicken pieces marinated and stir fried with simple spices. The caramelized onion gives great taste to this dish.I recommend marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes before you start cooking. You can reduce the amount of chilli added if you do not want too much heat in your dish. This is a dry roast recipe which is the best version, but you can also prepare it in a semi gravy form by adding some water while the chicken cooks.It is a perfect preparation to serve to guests along with rice or chapati.

Bored of eating same old curry or fried fish try this recipe of fish thoran .Fishes are yummy. Life without fish is unimaginable. If they were bone less they would have been all the more desirable.
This is a classic fish preparation from Kerala. The boneless fish pieces cooked in an earthenware pot or iron pot . The interesting part of this dish is the slow mixing procedure along with the perfect blend of spices, coconut oil, and curry leaves; which gives the dish rich and aromatic flavour. It is simple to prepare and tastes so delicious. It pairs well with almost anything you can think of Flavored rice, Ghee rice, Kerala parotta, any Roti /Indian bread varities, biryani’s etc.
