Andhra Chilli Chicken is my most favorite dish. This dish  is a authentic Andhra Pradesh dish. This dish is hot, attractive and very spicy. This dish is the spiciest, oiliest and aromatic. You can find this dish is almost all the Andhra restaurants in various states. We used to order this along with biryani and both goes very well together. This is not a dry item and has lots of spicy gravy with this. You can see lots of green chilli seeds in this gravy. Thus, very spicy and goes well with  dosa, plain rice, Appams, parathas, roti, naan (Indian breads), ghee rice and biryani. NOTE :  Number of chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 7 as mine are not very spicy. Chicken can be boneless or with bone. Can use ghee or butter instead of oil if you prefer. Optional - Can garnish with Fried Capsicum or Coriander Leaves. If the gravy is not thick then add 1 more tbsp of corn flour dissolved in 1/2 sp water. Preparation Time : 10 Minutes Cook...

Hyderabadi Biryani is a very famous Hyderabadi Dish. Gives nice flavor of chicken / mutton. Cooking biryani on dum involves marinated raw chicken and partially cooked rice to be layered and to be cooked on low flame covered with the lid. On opening the lid, the entire house smells fragrant, rich with the reassuring aroma of pure ghee. The chicken / mutton is so well cooked that it simply melts away in the mouth. Though, it is a lengthy process but the taste is worth of going through the elaborated process. I watched many youtube videos and read many sites with this recipe. Finally, i was ready with the recipe by combining the ingredients from all the videos and sites that i felt was suitable.  And i gave it a first try on my husband's birthday and it turned out to be the best gift.  This recipe can be divided into 3 phases i.e., Gravy Preparation, Rice Preparation and Seasoning. NOTE :   Chilies can be added as per your taste. We are marinating Chicken/...

This is a very famous Kerala Dish. I was not a very big fan of dum biryani. One day, m y husband took me to one of the best restaurant in Singapore called swadisht. We ordered malabar mutton biryani and it was so tasty that we forgot the entire world. Even after getting back home i was still thinking about this dish and had a question in my mind if i can also prepare it. I watched many youtube videos and read many sites with this recipe. Finally, i was ready with the recipe by combining the ingredients from all the videos and sites that i felt was suitable.  My Father loves this a lot. And i gave it a first try when he had come to my house to Singapore for the very first time after my marriage. On their day of arrival we had taken them to that same restaurant and they too loved it. But finally when i decided to do it at home, I was scared to prepare such a dish which was every bodies favorite and was worried if i can stand up to my expectations. Luckily...

This recipe is my own innovation. I named it Chicken Butter Tikka because I am using butter and this dish is spicy similar to chicken tikka masala and goes well with chapathi, naan, rice, fried rice, rumali roti, kulcha and kerela paratha.
