Hai Guys..Hope everyone had a great weekend.Mine was a blast, because it is hubby’s birthday. What could be a happy day than that right?..I surprised him with a chocolate cherry tart at 12’O clock. He was kind of shocked and surprised, I can see the happiness from his face. The day was awesome, I cooked some lovely food for him, went to temple and had dinner in one of our favorite restaurant. So how was urs?

Now back to today’s recipe, this one is a authentic  chicken kulambu recipe. They call for local ingredients and fresh ground spices which take this chicken curry to a whole new level. This recipe takes some time to make but it is worth every minute. The end result was so good. Each ingredient which I used in this recipes makes this curry taste so exotic. Specially the shallots, tamarind, gingelly oil and fresh roasted spices.

I hope you will love this one and tell me how it turned out for you.

    The smell was amazing but taste.. not in the same league. The tamarind was overpowering and drowned everything else that was there.

    @Jacob Pradeep NormanI think you must have added lots of tamarind. Next time reduce the amount, you will surely enjoy this curry

    Hi mam,
    Can I pressure cook the chicken for 1 or 2 whistles before adding it to kadaai? Because country chicken takes much time to become softer.

    I bought country chicken for first time and I cooked myself with lot of care to get the right taste. I used to follow different web sites for same recipe and end up doing the mix of things. This time I tried to stick to this since it looked to me perfect. And YES, Indeed it is. The result is so tasty it came out and even my wife and daughter enjoyed eating very much. I am from Kongu region and I liked this taste very much

    We visited my husband's parents this weekend and they gave us a nice, big country chicken. I thought: what better occasion to try out this recipe? It did take some time to prepare, yes, but it's sooo worth it. The curry cooks for a long time, so all the flavours can blend together and they are all nicely balanced. I added less tamarind (1.5 tbsp) and it was just enough. I wouldn't skip tamarind in this recipe. The dish takes some work, but at the end you get a huge pot full of amazing stuff. Everyone loved it, and I didn't even have to make any side dishes, we just had it with rice and some curd.

    I suggest to add the roasting & grind before adding chicken so that masala will cook in oil to give soft taste. The receipe is the best for this kind. Thank you.

    If you can categorize the list of ingredients that are exactly required for blender and the one to make the curry. It would have been great. Though your description says so, there is no clear list that mentions the items needed for initial frying.
