Peanut Chicken Curry

Chicken curry is common to several continents including India, Asia and the Caribbean. There are probably a chicken curry in some form that every household loves and makes. My favorite of them though is this aromatic Pepper Chicken Curry, I’m always just craving these flavors. Also, I might be biased because it’s a recipe I learnt from my mom and a favorite of my boys….

South Indian Spicy Tomato Chicken Curry/Koduvai Chicken Varuval

August 4, 2018 By Asha Shivakumar

This family-style Indian chicken curry is loaded with heat and spices, and it’s authentic as it gets. The chili oil, the fresh spices, and the technique makes this is a very uniquely flavorful chicken curry. This South Indian Style Spicy Tomato Chicken, aka Koduvai Chicken Varuval, is a must make.

If there’s one thing my hubby often craves, it’s puri (boori) chicken. He is from Tiruppur, and his mom’s family lived in a small place called Koduvai. Till date, when he visits Coimbatore (where his parents live now), he makes sure to visit his mom’s old town. I see a sense of pleasure as he describes the village. Old roads, thatched roofs, verandas, kolam (a design drawn out of rice) in front of every home. He visited his grandmum’s home where he went on vacations, got pampered by his aunts, fed endlessly by his grandmum and rode the cow to his heart’s content. He’s the favorite grandson and nephew to all, I can see why….

Spicy Chicken Fry – Andhra style

December 7, 2017 By Asha Shivakumar

I’ve always found this Andhra style hot & spicy chicken fry to be very flavorful, and a cozy dish for winters. Known for its sizzling items, full of flavor, Andhra cuisine is like none other. It’s so good.

Some of the hottest and spiciest food from South India, they say, is from Andhra Pradesh. I personally haven’t had any spicy food that I can’t handle, but for most, this would be pretty spicy, but not quite unbearable. Chicken Fry is a staple in many homes, and everyone has their favorites. Mine has to be my mom’s style pepper chicken, which is my little one’s favorite too. This Spicy Chicken fry is inspired by the cuisine of Andhra, and quickly, our pepper chicken had some competition.
