Notes
- I used broiler chicken so it got cooked faster in this pot itself. If you use country chicekn then pressure cook for atleast 5 whistles. For broiler chicken pressure cook for 2 whistles.
- You can use the same recipe for kuzhambu too just adjust with more water and boiling time.
- Add water quantity according to the gravy consistency.I wanted more gravy so added 1 cup water also make a note that chicken leaves water while cooking.
- Keep sauteing to get a dry chukka chicken or a semi dry gravy.
