The other day I was searching for a recipe for chicken chettinadu and came across this one. I found many recipes with wide variations in the ingredients... I added some spice mix to the actual recipe and it came out really well. Although M and me agreed that it didn't taste like the chicken chettinadu (I think because of lack of tomatoes...)we get from one of the restaurants here...the dish sure was lip-smacking.
Marinate the chicken with 2,3,4 for 1 hr.In a pan, heat oil. Add 5,6,7 and roast for a while. When the strong smell comes out add 8.Saute till the coconut turns golden brown.Remove from the heat and let it cool. Grind it into a fine paste when it is cooled.In a spice grinder, grind 9,10,11,12.Heat oil in a pan. Add the spice mix, 13, 14, 15.When the cumin seeds are spluttered, add onions and saute till it turns golden brown.Add 17,18 and saute for a second. Add the coconut grind mix and continue to saute.Add the marinated chicken, salt, 19, 20. Close the lid and cook for 20-25min Till the chicken is ready. Check for salt.Serve hot and enjoy..:)
