Chettinadu Chicken Curry/Chettinadu Chicken Masala



Its been a while since I posted non-veg dish,as these days we prefer to eat vegetarian food,non-veg has become rare in my house.
After a break, I tried this authentic Chettinadu chicken curry,the specialty of this curry is the freshly ground masala with the aromatic spices.
I have already shared a version of Chettinadu chicken curry for guest post at Priya's space.But today's version is slightly different and adapted this recipe from a regional magazine.This curry goes well with roti,rice and biriyani but I paired up with a simple flavored ghee rice and will share it soon.Off to the recipe.............................

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
