How to make Chettinad Pepper Chicken Masala / Karaikudi Chicken / Restaurant Style Recipe:
We
love Chettinad food...!!! Yesterday, I made Chettinad Pepper Chicken Masala - a
quick, spicy & aromatic chicken curry for dinner & it was a hit. The
gravy was very peppery and flavorful. I
just loved the color of the masala.
It
made a fabulous combination with parottas. Also it goes well with flavored
rice, plain cooked rice, chapathi, roti etc., .
