Gongura chicken fry | How to make dry gongura chicken

By swasthi , on May 21, 2019, 12 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Gongura chicken fry is a simple recipe made using chicken and red sorrel leaves known as gongura in telugu. Unlike the gongura chicken curry, this is a dry chicken recipe that can be prepared quickly. It pairs wonderfully well with plain steamed rice and a bowl of rasam.

Gongura chicken fry tastes slight hot, spicy and tangy. Some variety of gongura is very sour, so adjust the quantity of leaves to be used.

    Are there any substitutes that can be used if gongura is not available?

      Hi Avishek
      Curry leaves work well here. You have to dry roast the curry leaves on a pan or in oven until crisp. Blend to fine powder & use. You will need at least 2 cups of curry leaves otherwise it is hard to powder them.

    Looks awesome! Can you please tell me how much gongura I should use for this recipe
    if I have gongura in paste form?
    Perhaps in tablespoons cups something

    Thank you soooo much!

      Hi Supri,
      using too much gongura can make the chicken sour. If the paste has no other additives like citric acid, for half a kg chicken, 2 tbps.of the paste could be fine. however you will have to experiment to know that correctly. Just keep ready a few tsps of cashew powder or grated coconut, in case it becomes too sour add it at the end and fry.Hope this helps. Would appreciate if you can share with us how it turned out. 🙂
