CHITILA KOZHI 

Chitila Kozhi is a modern fusion appetizer that elevates the classic Kerala-style spiced chicken fry into a chic, skewer-based dish. It combines the rustic flavor of a Tawa Fry with an innovative, contemporary glass presentation, perfect for parties and gatherings.

METOD

• ​The Chicken: Bite-sized chicken pieces are marinated in a rich, traditional Kerala masala blend and then quickly pan-fried on a Tawa. This technique ensures the chicken is crisp on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside.
• ​The Presentation: The cooked chicken pieces are creatively stacked onto skewers, alternating with fresh vegetables like carrots and cucumber, and crowned with a decorative chili. These skewers are then placed upright inside shot glasses.
• ​The Salad Base: The shot glasses are filled at the bottom with a bed of finely shredded onions and perhaps cabbage, which acts as a refreshing, crunchy base salad. This salad provides a necessary coolness and crunch to balance the warm, spiced chicken.
• ​Mint Chutney Dip: Served in a separate glass on the side is a vibrant green Mint Chutney (Pudina Chutney). This dipping sauce, often flavored with lime, adds a burst of cool freshness and tanginess, offering a perfect counterpoint to the spicy chicken.
