Heat oil in a pan/kadai in high flame. High flame works well for frying baby corn. When the oil is hot, drop in the corn one by one. Do not over crowd. Do not disturb the oil with the spatula for the first 2 minutes. Leaving it as such helps in the batter to nicely coat the corn.

Using a fork, just help the corn release from the kadai (sometimes it may stick to the bottom). Just a slight movement with the fork will help the corn to release.

chicken-pacha-masala-stew-recipe-10 - 15

Chicken Pacha masala stew made with a simple masala paste made with green chillies and stewed in coconut milk. Perfect for Dosa, Appam and Idiyappam.

This recipe is from the repertoire of Vinodh’s sister Padma akka . I would say that this is the Indianised version of Thai green curry. The flavour of coconut milk along with fennel seeds is divine. Padma akka learnt this recipe from Cook Subramani whom they fondly called as “Suburu” who is no more. This recipe is perfect for parties and is perfect for a wintry night. It goes really well with dosa , appam or idiyappam .

Here is how to do it. Take a mixie jar and add in the green chillies, garlic, ginger, fennel seeds, poppy seeds and cinnamon. Grind to a smooth paste adding half a cup of water. Let the paste be very fine. Set aside. Note: 1. If you cannot source poppy seeds, just omit it. 2. Use green chillies according to your like. Use less or more depending on how spicy you want the stew.

Next, lets cook the chicken. I like to use chicken in bone for this recipe. The gelatinous juices from the bones that release while cooking are very flavourful. When making any south Indian curry, make sure to use chicken in bone. Take a pressure cooker and add in the chicken, half of the ground masala paste and half a teaspoon of salt. Add in a cup of water to the cooker.

Cook for 3-4 whistles and remove from heat. Let the pressure from the cooker settle naturally. Set aside.
