Kodi vepudu is a spicy Andhra chicken dish. Kodi means Chicken and vepudu means fry/roast. This Andhra Style chicken fry is a dry dish made with basic ingredients But, you won’t believe the it is so delicious. I first heard about Chicken vepudu from the chef Venkatesh Bhatt. He made this Kodi vepudu in Vijay tv’s samayal Samayal cooking show. I remember he said that Kodi vepudu is Indian actress Sridevi’s favorite food. My version might not be the same as the chef’s version because I learned this recipe from my Telugu friend.
