Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry

This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine. 

I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable. 

This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.  

This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.  

Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice. 

This same masala can be used for any red meat too. I add potatoes to any meat curries. You can skip if you wish. 

Try this delicious curry. 

Please Note:

1. Use spices as per your your preference.  We prefer less spicy food. 
2. Cooking time depends on the quality of chicken. Broiler chicken cooks faster. Country chicken takes  longer time to cook.

  • 4-5 red short chillies ( guntur)
