By swasthi , on May 22, 2019, 25 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Guntur chicken fry made with fresh ground spices – Learn to make spicy guntur chicken with step by step photos. Chicken fry can be as simple as a potato fry and can be made in many ways. Most of the times, it is the fry that gets done at home since the gravy dishes are difficult to finish. I have already posted an Andhra chicken fry recipe in a restaurant style which is mildly spiced, flavorful, simple to prepare and can be prepared even by bachelors. But today’s kodi vepudu recipe in Guntur or Andhra Style is a fiery hot and spicy dish that is deep red in color, as it is prepared with the Guntur red chilies.

      Hi Rehma
      Yes it is very easy. You will only need to add the marinated chicken to a pot and cook it until soft. You dont need to add more oil since there is 1 tbsp ghee already in the marinationingredients.

        Love u lot
        I got very good appreciation from my husband. Thank u
        I personally not satisfied with the final color as it is not as bright as yours bcoz my ground masala came dark. Since I m not eating non veg now a days I couldn’t taste it. But finally it came awesome

          Welcome and thanks Rehma
          So glad to know your husband liked it. The amount or the kind of of red chilies impart the bright color. For this recipe we actually use guntur chilies which also yield the bright red color apart from that heat. If you do not have guntur chilies, then next time, reduce the red chilies to 2 and use little chili powder. Lightly roast the spices, do not over roast. Hope this helps
