this is also called as varatiyathu as we let it to cook in simmer until dry and roasted. we usually cook the chicken pepper fry (nadan chicken peralan) but during my recent visit to ernakulam, it had a twist of roasted coconut topped over and that flavour was just taking the dish a step higher.
chicken pepper fry is moderately spiced and hot. you can add more chilli powder if you want it more spicy. if you like it to be semi gravy, then stop it without drying it up.
