Chicken Sukka/ Kori Rotti
Mangalorean Chicken Sukka or Kori Sukka/Kori Ajadina is an Indian chicken dish native to Mangalore and Udupi region. The word “Sukka” comes from Hindi “Sukha” which means “Dry”, sometimes also called as “Kori Ajadina”. However, it can be prepared in two variations: dry and semi gravy.
Chicken sukka is an intensely flavorful dish, made with host of spices, freshly grated coconut and just two tablespoons of oil. A quintessential chicken sukka calls for a special masala called kundapur masala powder. However, there are different variations of this recipe that can avoid the usage of this powder.
Although this dish has a major influence of South Indian and coastal cuisine, chicken sukka has a charm of its own. It is said that traditionally this dish is cooked with ‘desi murgh’ (free-range chicken) and served during special occasions like weddings.
This dish can be served with Parotta or Neer Dosa.
