Have you been familiar with chef damodaran. I totally like his recipe, it is so authentic and simple to make. But gives you the punch of authentic southindian food. This recipe is from his cookbook which is dedicated to complete non veg. I made this for todays lunch along with his crispy lamb chops as well. Will share it soon.

Really Yummy recipies. I love the way you use raw ingredients to make the spices. Tastes like my grandmother's cooking. Indian food is not just CURRY made from Patak mixes.

Hi Archana,
Awesome and Yummy Recipe... It was good for the tummy as well... I wanted to add two extra ingredients i.e. Kasuri methi(for seasoning ) and chopped pudina leaves (for garnishing along with coriander leaves)...
