Who doesn’t love street foods? They always seem to come with a tag that says, “mysteriously delicious”. Contrary to the fact that I’m a big fan of street foods, this is the very first time I’m sharing a recipe with you. Currently, as I write about this amazing recipe, I’m drooling thinking about all the wonderful flavors packed in each bite. If you’ve ever visited Kerala (South Indian state), this is the kind of street food you’ll find there. Deep fried chicken pieces served with parotta (a type of Indian flatbread) and an authentic onion curry (recipe here) very unique to the street food stalls. In local language, a street food stall is known as a thattukada, and that’s how the chicken got its name. The special onion curry served with thattukada chicken is coming up on the blog very shortly. (Updated: Get the recipe for onion curry here). So stay tuned. Meanwhile, enjoy these crispy chicken bites!
