This weekend was really a busy weekend for us so much of shopping, b’day party that’s why my kitchen was almost closed. The feelings is really great when you know that you don’t have too much of work in kitchen. I think we also need some break from our daily jobs. But if you have a food lover husband what u will do when he asks for a special chicken curry, you can’t say no right.
We went a small restaurant in Chennai I really didn't remember the name of that restaurant but I still remember one item of the restaurant its called RAJASTHANI LAAL MURG CURRY. Which was queen dish of that restaurant; I suddenly remembered the dish name and started searching in Google. There is some good recipe in Google but I cooked this one in little different way. For me the important ingredients are fried onions and dry red chili paste. While frying the onions and dry red chili you have to fry the onions till it becomes black. That essence only gives you the special feel. This dish specially made with goat meat but I tried with chicken. The basic ingredients are DRY RED CHILI which gave this dish a vibrant color and the spicy taste. Try this and make your dinner perfect with some homemade fulka or roti.
