Mirapakaya Kodi Vepudu is a spicy Chicken dry saute made with a spicy powder. With this easy recipe, you can learn how to make Andhra Style Chicken Fry.
This is yet another dish from Amma's Kitchen. Since we try to make new dishes for Sunday lunch, our quest to find new recipes is always there. Amma checked her collection and
said she found another Kodi Vepudu from Andhra cuisine. We already have quite a few variations in making Chicken Fry or Kodi Vepudu as we say Telugu.
We have got into the habit of making Biryanis for Sunday Lunch and we either make Chicken Korma or some dry dish. Depending on what type of biryani is made, we take a call. This is mostly done when we make Andhra Kodi Biryani or Nawabi Biryani.
This Mirapakaya Kodi Vepudu as you can see is very spicy as we have used both dry red chili and green chili. Since my family loves spicy food, they enjoyed this a lot. Apart from biryanis, you can also serve this dry roast with Pappu Charu as well.
As I have been sharing some dry sautes or dry dishes this week, this is part of the series.
