Two in one Chicken Kuzhambhu and Fry





For the day 2 of Protein rich dishes in Blogging Marathon #88 is a Chicken Kuzhambhu and fry.This is one of the signature recipe of my in laws house and they do make it with mutton.I followed the same method and tried it with chicken.As it is a pressure cooker method the kuzhambhu and fry can be made in no time.Also the addition of kuzhambhu milagai thool/podi make this kuzhambhu so aromatic.Since I ran of the spice powder,used the regular red chilly powder and coriander powder along with the homemade garam masala powder.

The consistency of the kuzhambhu is personal preference.Usually the kuzhambhu is slightly thinner if it is accompanied with idly for morning breakfast.Whereas it will be on the thicker side for rice.Off to the recipe.
