Hey guys, here is one of my favourite Chicken Sukka, Mangalorean dish which is irresistible. Try it and please don't forget to comment, like, share and SUBSCRIBE to my channel Curry for the Soul on YouTube for more such easy and authentic dishes.
Chicken Sukka is a popular dish in Mangalore and coastal regions of Karnataka. It is made by dry roasting the spices, grinding them to a paste and then adding roasted and coarsely ground coconut. I have added desiccated coconut which is readily available and can be kept handy always. It also saves the time of roasting and grinding fresh coconut.
Though it is a simple dish, it is so delicious that it is prepared whenever any guests come home and also for special occasions like wedding, parties, etc. And it is one of the restaurant favourite dishes too. Chicken Sukka can be prepared dry as a side dish or in semi-gravy form to relish it with rice crepes, brown rice, etc.
If you want a quick short-cut, instead of grinding the spices, after you saute the onions, you can add 'Bafat' masala powder. You can see my video for preparing Bafat masala powder.
Enjoy yummy Chicken Sukka and share it with your friends.
