I first had this fiery, deeply flavorful chicken dish as a friend’s home along with dosas and ever since hooked to it. I was told it’s a traditional Chettinad chicken curry and that there are quite a few variations to this recipe. In today’s version, chicken is simmered in coconut milk and gets its unique flavor from a blend of quite a few spices like fennel seeds, coriander seeds, poppy seeds, pepper corns, cardamoms and cumin to name a few.

Quite a bit of preparation goes into the making of this curry and there is no short cut method and if you have the time and the ingredients on hand, only then venture to prepare and please don’t compromise with the ingredients if you want that authentic chicken curry flavor.

No matter if you are experienced with cooking or if you are just beginning to cook, there are basic things we have to pay attention when cooking. I´m used to cook (I cook every day for my family) but when I plan a meal – even when I´m preparing a simple meal just for me and my husband – I always check if I have all the ingredients, if I have the necessary quantity, if some ingredient that I have at home (for instance vegetables or fruits) are still fresh or in case of ingredients that I don´t use so often, if it has expired, and very important (!!!) if you are using some frozen product, remove it from the freezer on time.

When I prepare a recipe for the first time, I also make sure that I have the right utensils (or that I can substitute it for something else) and that I can get all the ingredients (in case I intend to prepare some exotic recipe). I also never prepare a recipe for the first time when I have guests. Some recipes may sound tasty but when you prepare it, it is not so delicious as you expected. I think that testing recipes before you prepare for some guest is also important because you can be sure about how much time you need to prepare that dish – some recipes instructions may give the impression that is not so time consuming (and it may be true when prepared by a professional cook), but when you prepare by your self you see that it takes much more time than expected. And imagine the situation that you have hungry guests waiting to eat !!!!
