    Hai  Guys…Hope everyone had a great weekend..
    Mine was quite a exciting one, we went on a small trip to estuary island in poovar.It was totally a unexpected one..It was a 2 hours trip from our place, we went in two wheeler.I love to travel in two wheeler more than anything else..The journey was a total fun. The island is such a beautiful place on earth. We have to take a 15 mins boat ride to reach that island from poovar..They have a private beach, swimming pool, massage center, gym, yoga room over there..We totally enjoyed it.. My weekend was a total blast.

    Now coming back to today's recipe..It is a spicy yet tangy chicken masala..This gets even special with the little specks of crunchy green capsicum scattered all over the curry..This is so easy to make, but taste so melting delicious..Since the chicken is cooked in a pressure cooker it turns so soft and each chicken pieces gets coated with the shiny tomato sauce..This taste great with rice, you can even serve with chapati..
    I hope you will love this one and tell me if you try it..
