Details and Ingredients

Kanthari Chicken is crafted by sautéing succulent chicken pieces with a fiery blend of crushed Kanthari chilies, known for their sharp heat and distinct flavor. The dish is enriched with spices like turmeric, black pepper, cumin, and coriander, along with fresh ginger, garlic, and a hint of coconut oil—a staple in Kerala cuisine. Onions and curry leaves are caramelized to balance the heat, creating a vibrant, spicy gravy that clings to the tender chicken.

Garnished with extra Kanthari chilies and fresh cilantro, this dish pairs perfectly with steamed Kerala red rice, appam, or parotta. Kanthari Chicken is a bold tribute to Kerala’s love for spice, offering an unforgettable kick for adventurous palates.
