Are you ready for the best chicken curry ever? Here it is.
Whenever I think about a good chicken meal, the first thing that comes to my mind is chicken curry. I tried this chettinad style chicken curry a couple of years ago for the very first time, and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. It’s super spicy, yet delicious enough to make your taste buds happy.
This is very similar to the capsicum chicken recipe I posted a few years ago. I thought I’d make some variations and add freshly grated black pepper to create this chettinad style chicken pepper roast. This recipe is a keeper. Once you try it, I’m pretty sure you’ll also feel the same way.
Let’s make this curry!!
