Nulla kara Saramana chicken milagu curry, sudana Sadam sambar udan ?(A nice and spicy pepper chicken with sambar and hot rice) was my lunch yesterday. This is my sissy’s recipe and her favorite recipe too, which I follow mostly when making this pepper kind of curries. Pepper is so good compared to the chillies. With Rice and Sambar or dal, it is a perfect combo. I have used freshly roasted and ground masala which makes the curry more aromatic and flavorful. I have also already posted similar recipes like Pepper prawns masala, Pepper mushroom masala, Pepper liver, Mutton Pepper masala , Cauliflower Pepper fry, Mutton Pepper Fry, Mathi Pacha Kurumulaku fry also try them.
