My favourite side dish to a biryani is the Kerala Chicken Fry. In my family, we lovingly call it Ben Fry, named after a family member who loved it so much when he visited India. He couldn’t stop with, not two, not three, but four large drumsticks of this yummy chicken! I cook it only in a cast iron skillet cause you want all that tasty, fried masala with a nice char on the chicken when you serve it. You could also cook it on a BBQ grill, and it will have an incredible smoky flavour added to it. Hope you enjoy this one:)
