Chicken Sukka Recipe

Prepare flavourful Mangalorean-style chicken sukka using Emunah Chicken Sukka Masala and a handful of everyday ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 kg chicken, cleaned
• 2 tablespoons Emunah Chicken Sukka Masala
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 3 green chillies, slit
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1½ cups grated coconut
• 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
• Curry leaves
• A small piece of tamarind or 1 teaspoon tamarind pulp
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Method

1. Heat the ghee or coconut oil in a pan.
2. Add the chopped onions, green chillies, curry leaves and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the onions turn golden and the mixture becomes aromatic.
3. Add the chopped tomato and cook until soft.
4. Add the chicken pieces and mix well.
5. Add Emunah Chicken Sukka Masala, salt and tamarind. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
6. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender. The chicken will release moisture as it cooks, so additional water may not be necessary. Check occasionally and add a little water if needed to prevent sticking.
7. Add the grated coconut once the chicken is cooked.
8. Cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes relatively dry and the masala coats the chicken well.
9. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
