Kodi Vepudu / Andhra Chicken fry / Kozhi Varuval

Kodi vepudu is a spicy andhra chicken fry. Kodi means chicken,vepudu means fry,this is the meaning for this name. I came to taste this dish from a Indian restaurant,next to my apartment. H and me became a very big fan for this dish from that day on. Whenever we feel like having spicy food,then we go for this fry. When  I was carrying Ashwath,this is my ultimate food for my spicy cravings. Being inspired by its taste, I wanted to prepare this at home. It came out very well. This is a very spicy fry, so be cautious while feeding it to the kids. This fry goes very well with sambar rice or rasam.

This looks very yum! Did you try grinding the marination masalas along with the onions? I also wonder if the chicken can be cooked in a pressure cooker.
