Malabar Chicken Curry | Restaurant Style

Malabar Chicken curry.A famous Dish from South India. As per my knowledge Malabar coast is a beautiful place for holidays. As it is a district of Kerala I believe on these words that It is really a Lovely Place in India. In future I want to go there definitely to cherish its scenic beauty..Though I have a very little knowledge about Malabar foods.so it will be better If you suggest somethings about Malabar foods...

As I live in chennai I tried few Malabar dishes in some restaurant. I  like Malabar Chicken Biriyani...a preparation of pure ghee with samba rice and  little spicy at all (I feel). A digestive preparation. And about Malabar Chicken Curry its really a spicy and rich chicken curry I made ever. I found this recipe from a TV show. And I must say about the truth that the recipe also belongs to one of the special south indian restaurant in Kolkata. The name of the Restaurant is Tamarind(opposite to Deshapriyo Park). A chef from Tamarind restaurant shared the recipe of Malabar Chicken Curry.I tried exactly how he explained, and trust it was just superb. My family just enjoyed it heavenly. Only thing I changed I prepared with bone chicken pcs. But actually the preparation will be in boneless chicken. So friends if you try this chicken curry try boneless chicken to get the authenticity. Now check out the recipe...

Awadhi Paneer Masala | Lucknow Paneer Masala

Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines. So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy. Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases. Hope you got to know that why I had given so many lectures about the Awadhi Cooking. Because today I want share one Awadhi special recipe. It's a simple and easy cooking reci

All in above it should have to celebrate in Auspicious Day at an auspicious time. The main door will be decorated with an Indian W all H anging called a T oran. To give
