This is the second recipe of ‘Chicken Chettinad’ in the space which is almost similar to Kudupi maam’s recipe which I had shared yesterday. I’ve been following this recipe since many years. This is the recipe of Sanjeev Kapoor which we modified slightly. I found this picture in one of my old folder. Even the slight change in the recipe enhances the taste of the dish. In this recipe the taste is enhanced with the flavor of curry leaves and crunchy coconut bits. This recipe is a keeper.
