My first chicken recipe after my marriage and this came out super spicy and my Husband like this one a lot.After we came to Pune,we had a simple vegetarian lunch or ordered butter chicken recipe from restaurants.So we planned this week,we will make a chicken recipe at home.So he bought chicken approximately 500 grams for both of us,where half boneless and half with bones.I thought to make two recipes but it would be waste when we make two different gravies.So i jumped to my Mom's special pepper or milagu ,which is a spicy ingredient and also has some medicinal properties for cold.
This is my second chicken post and i posted chicken or Non vegetarian recipes 2 years back.This is really fresh start for me after months break.Mostly i made chicken as butter chicken version which is accepted in home as we need more spicy one.So i prepared the powder the day before and this makes more easier to proceed and finish the recipe in half an hour.Chicken does not take much time to cook and we can also cook with little oil as it contains the fat which melts during cooking is enough for the whole process.Chicken must be cooked with turmeric powder as it cures everything in the pieces.Lets move on making the recipe.,
