Chicken Thoran

Chicken thoran is a Kerala style chicken stir fry .Thoran is made with chicken boneless pieces with coconut and masala.It a side dish for rice,roti or can be used as filling in burgers/sandwiches.Its a bit time consuming dish,coz chicken should be chopped into small pieces.I usually make with boneless chicken breast strips,can be chopped easily.U can even make with minced chicken.But taste good in chopped ones. when our marriage was fixing,my in-laws gave me a hint to win my man's heart ,thats by making this chicken thoran. A beautiful smile can be seen in his face ,when ever i make thoran.This is my grandma's style of thoran....
