Chicken Chukka recipe | Chicken sukka varuval recipe – simple, spicy chicken fry recipe in Tamil style, in particular, Chettinad style where the spices are dry roasted and ground to a paste and cooked along with chicken until dry and roasted.

Chettiars are known for the usage of spices in the sea foods and meats. It is also said that since food was such an essential part of a Chettiar’s life, the kitchen was one of the largest and important place of Pin kattu (rear quadrangle) of the Karaikudi house.

Chicken sukka varuval is one if the popular dish in south Indian restaurants. I love the chicken to be cut to small/tiny bite-sized pieces instead of large ones as the masala gets well blended and when dry it still tastes good.
