Details and Ingredients

Kada Fry is a cherished Kerala dish where quail (kada) is marinated in a robust mix of spices and fried to a golden, crispy finish. The marinade features red chili powder, turmeric, black pepper, and coriander, blended with fresh ginger, garlic, and a splash of vinegar for tanginess. Curry leaves and green chilies are fried alongside, infusing the quail with their aromatic essence, while a touch of coconut oil enhances the coastal flavor.

Served hot and garnished with crispy curry leaves and a sprinkle of crushed pepper, Kada Fry is perfect as a starter or a flavorful side to Kerala red rice and fish curry. This dish captures the fiery, rustic charm of Kerala’s culinary heritage.
