Chicken Drumstick Curry

It's the season of drumsticks here at my home and every other visitor of my house gets to enjoy atleast 4-5 drumsticks for free. But we take it for granted and hardly cook dishes using drumstick or the moringa leaves. Even the drumstick flowers carry nutritional benefits for our eyes and eye sight, i should give it a try next time to put these flowers into rasam or just a drumstick flower tea. Today i had a craving to eat chicken and asked my mom to buy chicken for me but i had this idea of cooking chicken curry with drumstick slowly cooked with coconut milk. So i had reserved this idea in my mind for few days to make this curry and trust me it's definitely a bomb! Needless to say the flavors of slow cooked drumstick and the coconut milk makes this dish so very exotic! Do give it a try and share your valuable feedback - it really matters a lot. Happy Cooking :) 1 drumstick 2 sprig curry leaves 1 cup thick coconut milk 500 gms of chicken 2 tsp red chilli powder 1 t...

Naatu Kozhi Kuzhambu/ Country chicken Gravy

Country chicken gravy is kind of slow cooked in a pot or easily cooked using a pressure cooker for upto 5 whistles. A very nice blend of masala/indian spices are ground to a fine paste and added to the chicken pieces along with onion and tomatoes. It then takes up some more fine powders of red chilli and coriander seeds. I use rock salt here as it is very healthy when compared to the regular ones. This is a typical breakfast dish on every sunday and the best complements to this chicken gravy are soft idlies and dosa. Do you want to give it a try - do follow the steps and prepare this awesome dish at you home today and share your feedback.   Ingredients: 500 gms of country chicken with bones 1 tsp black pepper powder 3-4 pearl onions/shallots 1 tsp red chilli powder 1 tsp coriander powder 1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp turmeric powder rock salt to taste 1 tbsp. oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 medium sized tomatoes, finely chopped 2 sprig of curry leaves 1 cup of water 1 ...

Cilantro Chicken Roast

Chicken roast is an easy recipe, if you have the conventional oven at your place. You don't have an oven ?? Well, no worries you can just cook the chicken on a skillet or a pan using the shallow fry method. The taste does not vary much however the texture of the chicken differs between the two methods. Fresh coriander leaves are being used in this recipe to grind the marination masala, however you can go ahead and use your favourite choice of fresh herbs like parsely, mint leaves, thyme ,dill, oregano, basil etc., I usually make this chicken roast using fresh parsely leaves but this time i did not have parsely in my pantry and hence tried this coriander version and it turned out to be a mega hit recipe! Ingredients: 1 half breast chicken piece 1 tsp coriander seeds 1 green chilli 2 dry red chillies 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 1 tbsp greek yogurt or hung curd (thick curd) salt to taste 1 tsbp vegetable oil or olive oil or melted butter 2 tbsp...
