Ginger-Infused Chicken Delight

Allam Kodi Dry is a quintessential Andhra dish that celebrates the pungent flavor of ginger (allam in Telugu). Tender pieces of chicken are marinated in a paste made from fresh ginger, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices. The marinated chicken is then cooked on high heat until it develops a slightly crispy exterior, while remaining juicy inside. The generous use of ginger not only imparts a distinctive flavor but also adds a pleasant heat that’s different from chili peppers. Finished with a tempering of curry leaves and green chilies, this dry dish offers a perfect balance of spice, aromatics, and the unmistakable warmth of ginger.
