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...

This recipe goes well with plain rice, chapathi, naan, roti, parathas (Indian breads) NOTE : Number of chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am not using coconut while grinding.

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 :   Can use minced chicken or any other vegetable instead minced mutton. Can add green chilies as per your taste. Until you deep fry the samosas, keep it covered to avoid drying. You can freeze the samosas or keep in the fridge if you are using them later. Instead of making the cones using dough one can also use readymade samosa strips / samosa patti.

If the gravy is already thick without adding corn flour then avoid step 9. Preparation Time : 15 Minut es Cooking Time : 10 Minutes Total Time : 25 ...
