Some recipes are so good they are worth revisiting. This Authentic Chicken curry is one among the old traditional ancient recipe. This chicken curry is very popular and it is one of the tasty and delicious  chicken dish in Tamil Nadu.

In Tamil Nadu, chicken curry tastes varies from district to district and from home to home. I usually tend not to make the same recipe again and again, I love to make different styles of chicken curry each time. Today, I am sharing My grandma style chicken curry. This chicken curry can be enjoyed on weekends, parties, pot lucks, buffets, festivals, etc., 

Chicken Recipes

For this recipe, I took boneless chicken, if it is with bone and skin which tastes even great for this dish.  Grinding fresh whole spices along with  freshly grated coconut gives an excellent taste and flavor to this curry. I didn't pressure cooked this chicken curry and  I cooked in an open pot method.

Serve this chicken curry over steamed rice or chapatti or dosa, and it tastes heavenly delicious😋. Follow my step by step photo recipe to prepare Authentic Chicken Curry. If you like this recipe share it, tweet it and pin it. Please do try and post your comments.
