Guntur Kodi Kura/Guntur Chicken Curry

Its been more than a month i posted a non vegetarian dish, here is one of our recent family favourite. I fond always for super spicy dishes from Andhra, its quite like a dream for me to make some Andhra style hot spicy and yummy non vegetarian curries from a long. But i wasnt sure about the tastebuds of my family members, somehow i wanted to make some super flavourful chicken curry since a long.I took a note of this chicken curry in a paper before few months ago, while watching a TV cookery show and completely forgotten about it.I got them when i was cleaning my pantry few days back and i started craving for some hot chicken curry.

Prepared this super hot chicken curry for our sunday lunch and served simply with a ghee rice. I was bit nervous while serving and i was waiting to know the verdict from them. They simply loved it and we just add a super filling lunch,eventhough my favourite was hot piping rasam rice with this chicken curry.Dunno whether its an authentic Guntur chicken curry but seriously you guys should give a try.Sending to Divya's The Master Chef Contest.

You can also turn them as gravy just by adding some water while cooking, i wanted them as bit dry curry thats why i didnt add much water.
