I already have a andhra style chicken curry recipe which i call my chicken iguru. This is another version, a much simpler version of it. This is a no coconut version, it has a good amount of butter for flavouring and it really works well. Give this dish a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Hi Aarthi, I'm a big fan of ur recipes, so far whatever recipes I've tried of urs has been a huge hit! Thanks a lot for that, I wanted to try this recipe now but just found out that I don't have butter, can I add ghee instead of it or is butter an impt ingredient that should not be omitted? Thanks again, keep posting! Ur amazing!
