Kerala Style Spicy Chicken

India is diversified country where people talk in so many different languages, also they have plenty no of different cuisines. From north to south, east to west people have different languages and different food. As a foodie I love all the different foods and among all the states one of my favorite state is Kerala - Gods own country. Where you will get so many different kinds of foods, I really love the spices they use and the spiciness of the dishes.

As I say before I love to cook chicken in different way, so this time I tried to cook some KERALA STYLE SPICY CHICKEN. The taste of the dish is just mesmerizing with the smell of fennel and curry leaves. After we ate the dish my husband told me to cook some more kerala style dishes. And I love to do that again and again.
