    Chicken Kulambu it is finally. Chicken Kulambu pairs as a great sidedish for rice, idli, dosa etc.

    I always have small incidents associated with my props…Few months ago, when we visited Haribhavanam I saw cute varied sized buckets used for serving gravies. I loved them so much and wondered where do they get these A day later I saw the same buckets at Nilgiris I was overjoyed and immediately picked the smallest one and made this kuzhambu the next day and clicked it.

    As I’ve started exploring nonveg recipes, the first few on my list were all chicken recipes. When I was googling found this recipe quite interesting and it turned out super good.

      This kuzhambu was some what different from any other chicken kuzhambu I had tried, my family loved it and me too, added potatoes since kids love it. The coriander leaves added to the aroma….and surely will make it again. Thumbs Up !
