Kodi Avakaya/Andhra Chicken Pickle- T& T From Sailu's Kitchen

When i went through Sailu's Kitchen, this chicken pickle catched my attention and went through the recipe which was quite interesting and sounds truly delicious; also its completely new for me, being born and brought from seashore city, we peoples used to make pickles with prawns and fishes but never tried out with chicken, even when i told that am gonna try chicken pickle to my DH, he didnt trusted me and he was pulling my legs saying that chicken pickles doesnt exist in Indian cuisine, the way he talked, pulled me to prepare this kodi avakaya from Sailu's kitchen coz her click itself tempted me and i immediately got hooked with that particular post...I prepared this kodi avakaya with half kg of chicken pieces to give a trail, but i was wrong coz this pickle vanished within few minutes when i served along with sambar and rasam rice, needless to say how my DH reaction was, lol even now i cant forget the way he looked at me when i served him this chicken pickle...This chicken pickle tastes awesomeee!!!!..i deduced the quantity given in the original recipe else i followed each and every step as the original recipe went for..Sending this pickle to T&T-Saliu's Kitchen guest hosted by Lakshmi, event by Zlamushka..


1/2kg Chicken with bones(cut them as bite size pieces)
3/4tbsp Ginger garlic paste
3/4tbsp Red chilly powder
1/4tsp Turmeric powder
1+1/2nos Lemons

Heat  2tbsp oil in a vessel, add the chicken, ginger garlic paste and salt and cook everything in medium flame and reduce the heat and cook until the oil gets separates...now the chicken pieces would have get well cooked and without any water...This is very important for making this pickle...keep aside..
