CHICKEN POTTITHERICHATHU
This dish is typically a dry, spicy fry or roast, often involving twice-cooked chicken to achieve a great texture and flavor.
CHICKEN PREPARATION..
>Small, minced, or finely chopped boneless chicken pieces are usually marinated first (with ingredients like chili powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, and a bit of cornflour/rice flour for crispiness). They are then fried or deep-fried until golden and cooked.
>The Sauté/Roast (Masala Base): This is where the dish gets its intense, reddish color and flavor.
>Onion: Finely chopped onions (sometimes shallots) are sautéed in oil until they are well-caramelized and brown/reddish.
>Spices: A mix of chili powder (often Kashmiri chili for color), turmeric, pepper powder, and sometimes garam masala is added to the oil and onion mix.
>Heat: Green chilies (as mentioned in your description) and curry leaves are typically sautéed with the onions for a fresh, spicy aroma.
>Final Assembly: The pre-fried chicken pieces are then tossed and roasted with the spicy onion and masala base until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the reddish, dry spices.
>Garnish: As you noted, it's often garnished with things like fried curry leaves, more fresh coriander, or, as you correctly pointed out, white sesame seeds (white ginjeli sedd).
