Chicken Chalna
This is a recipe I found on the net some time back and I liked it immediately, as it was so close to my mom's chicken curry recipe -almost same ingredients, with a few exceptions. (Will post my Mom's pepper chicken some time soon, with pictures!! 😊 )
Tried this and liked it for it's simplicity in making and of course for it's good taste too! Goes well with Parotto, Naan & Chappathi..etc.
Ingredients:
1.Chicken- 1 lb
2.Chilli powder- 3/4 tsp
3.Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
