| Kozhi / Chicken Kola Urundai Kuzhambu |
Every time i hear a word kola urundai, it makes me drool. The meatballs are deep dried and cooked in a curry. The traditional kola urundai is made using minced meat. I have used chicken to prepare kola urundai. I have not used flour here.
The minced chicken is combined with all fresh ground masala and then deep fried. You can also use little bit of gram flour. But since we have used roasted gram and coconut here. there is no need to use any flour. If you dont have chicken stew, then you can add 2 cup water.
Ingredients :
For Kola Urundai :
- 150 gms Chicken – B/L
- 1 medium sized onion – finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped coconut
- 1/4 cup Pottu kadalai (roasted gram)
- 1/2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds (saunf)
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 5-6 dry red chilies
- salt to taste
- 2 cloves
- 1/4 cinnamon
- 8 curry leaves
For Kuzhambu :
To Grind :
- 10 pearl onion (sambar vengayam) – chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 2 cloves
- 1/4 cinnamon
For Curry :
- 1 medium sized onion – finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 2 tbsp coriander powder
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1-2 cup chicken stew / vegetable stew
- 10 curry leaves
Method :
To Prepare Kola Urundai :
- Wash chicken pieces and fry in 5 tbsp oil for 5 mins on low flame. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Squeeze out water from chicken if any. Reserve the oil used for frying. Grind the chicken in a mixer to scramble. Keep it aside.
- Grind chopped coconut, roasted gram and dry red chilies without adding water. Keep it aside.
- Grind chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, fennel seeds, cumin powder, cinnamon and curry leaves to smooth paste without adding water. Grind scrambled chicken, coconut paste and onion paste together along with salt.
- Keep it aside for 10 mins. Make small balls of the paste and deep fry in oil till it turns golden brown on all the sides. Remove from the heat and drain the excess oil using tissue paper. Keep it aside.
To Prepare Curry :
- Grind onion, coconut, fennel seeds, cloves and cinnamon to smooth paste adding little water.
- Heat reserved oil(or 2 tbsp oil) in a pan or kadhai. Tamper mustard seeds and curry leaves. Add chopped onions and fry for a min on low flame.
- Add ground paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder and coriander powder. Saute a while. Add chicken stew. Mix well everything and add salt to taste.
- Cook it covered on low flame for 10-15 mins till the oil separates and raw masala smell goes off.
- At the time of serving, add chicken urundai to it and cook for 5 mins. Serve hot with rice / pulao / biriyani.

Can we use minced chicken or chicken keema. In that case should we grind it directly with coconut paste and onion paste ??
You can use minced chicken. Yes grind it directly with other ingredients..
