ReplyDeleteI tried this today. It is so spicy. Thank you for sharing this. I already tried chettinad chicken with simply onions, oil , corriander , chilli powder. This tastes exactly the same. Since we are adding pepper in this, it is effective to cure cold.

i have added curd also in the marination part, should i now avoid tomatoes whewn i make the gravy
ReplyDeleteThat depends upon the quantity of curd you have used..i feel tomato puree adds to the flavor and texture of the curry....try reducing the quantity of tomato to 1...if it turns out to be tangy even then,add a generous pinch of sugar to balance the tanginess...Happy Cooking
