CHICKEN KUZHAMBU - MY MOM'S STYLE

Hi all,

This is my first post ever. I thought of starting with any sweet  recipe but I came up with my Mom's special as my first recipe. Please provide your valuable Comments and Feedback the dish.

I prepared Chicken Kuzhambu and Chicken Varuval as Sunday special . For past few weeks I was preparing Briyani or Fish curry for Sunday special. But this week suddenly I started to feel like eating chicken dishes which my mom use to prepare and got the memories of my school days where every weekend my mom prepares non-vegetarian dishes and I was eagerly waiting to taste that :) How many ever restaurants we go and have different dishes it cannot compete with our mom's preparation.

For breakfast itself I prepared Kuzhambu and it came out very well :). My husband was saying that the kuzhambu smell is very good and it is making him hungry and he started to peek his face inside the kitchen before the cooking is done.

So here comes the recipe of Chicken Kuzhambu
