Thattukadas are famous in Kerala for their cheap and local food. I sometimes buy food from Christopher Nagar Thattukada in Ollur. Usually chilli gobi, chilli beef, chilli chicken etc. I buy two plates some times dry type. I then modify the dish with my own recipe to make it enough for 4-5 people. Simple and very few items needed.
Chop some big onions in thin slices, tomatoes, green chilli and garlic finely chopped like Chinese style. Capsicum will be great and will add the taste.
Pour oil in a kadai/ frying pan. Saute the onions first, add the chilli + garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes, add 1 cup water, some soya sauce, tomato sauce and bring it to boil. Add the thattukada item and stir the pan well to mix all the ingredients. Pour some corn flour to make the gravy thicker. Add capsicum and coriander leaves if available. Salt to taste.
Yummy chilli chicken for 5 people for the price of two.
