But what this Andhra chilli chicken or green chilli chicken is? A fiery hot chicken starter that is very very popular in Bangalore. Yes it has nothing to do with Andhra cuisine. But just a name given by restaurateurs and street vendors in Bangalore to denote that the chicken is fiery hot (hot foods are the star of Andhra cuisine). There are 2 versions of this chicken starter. The restaurant style one is just very simple. The chicken is marinated overnight and then cooked. Whenever they get orders for this dish, they stir fry the cooked chicken in ghee and serve hot. The other one is served as a street food, a deep fried version just like the Indo Chinese chili chicken dry but tempered with lot of green chilies and curry leaves instead of the sauces. This is an updated andhra green chilli chicken recipe. Recently I happened to find Chef Sanjeev Kapoor’s video on how to make this chicken starter. But I did not dare to try it, as it calls for 2 cups of green chilies which surprised me. More Chicken recipes,Chicken 65Chicken manchurianAndhra chicken fryChicken kabab
