Chicken Kondattam is an Easy & tasty Malabar dish. The chicken is fried in tasty masala and then the fried chicken pieces are coated with spicy, saucy, & tangy gravy! This is a must-try recipe if you are bored with regular chicken fry.
There are many styles of preparing this recipe. Here I have prepared a regular chicken fry masala instead you can also use soy sauce in the marination. I have shallowly fried the chicken by covering it with a lid and later opened the lid to make it crispy. But you can deep fry the chicken.
The chili Flakes gives a real spicy taste and when the sauce is added it gives us a real flavor of hot and spicy chicken. This tasty dish goes very well with Indian bread, Appam, Ghee Rice, etc,
