How to Make Spicy Chicken Kondattam: Chicken and Dry Red Chili Flakes Combination Recipe
Spicy Chicken Kondattam
Kondattam is usually salted and sun-dried vegetable pieces that are ready to fry and eat. But apart from the usual Kondattam dishes, Chicken pieces are not sun-dried, but we use dry red chili flakes as one of the main ingredients which add the spicy flavor to the dish.
Red Chili Flakes
Long red chilis are sun-dried for many days till it completely gets rid of water. This is then slightly ground to form red chili flakes. Grinding it too much would make it in the powdered form.
