In the fast-paced households of Kerala—from the bustling streets of Kochi to the quiet suburbs of Palakkad—finding time for elaborate cooking is becoming a challenge. However, the love for authentic, spicy, and comforting Kerala flavors remains unchanged.

The secret to balancing a busy schedule with a love for good food lies in your freezer. With Maximus Frozen Foods, you don’t have to choose between convenience and taste. By using high-quality frozen bases, you can skip the tedious prep work and jump straight to the seasoning. Here are three signature Kerala-style recipes you can whip up in under 15 minutes.

Recipe 1: Kerala Pepper Chicken Nugget Stir-Fry

This recipe transforms the classic nugget into a spicy, “naadan”

(traditional) starter that pairs perfectly with tea or even as a side for Ghee Rice.

• Prep Time: 2 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins
• The Method:

1. 1. Deep fry or air-fry Maximus Chicken Nuggets until they reach a golden, crispy texture.
   2. In a separate pan, heat coconut oil and sauté sliced onions, green chilies, and a handful of curry leaves until the onions are translucent.
   3. Add the crushed black pepper and a pinch of salt.
   4. Toss in the fried nuggets and mix well on high heat for 2 minutes until the spices coat the nuggets.

• The Result:
• A spicy, aromatic Kerala-style snack that tastes like it was made from scratch
