                             Chettinadu Chicken Gravy

Chettinad Chicken Gravy in Tamil / Chettinad Chicken Gravy is a delicious gravy recipe from the Chettinad Cuisine. This is an excellent chicken gravy for chapathi, biryani or rice. This recipe features the addition of chettinad masala which adds a lot of flavor to the recipe. Dry roasting the spices first and then grinding them releases all the aroma and flavors from the spices which are going to seep into the chicken pieces. For this chicken gravy we have to make sure our chicken pieces are slightly bigger in size(medium sized) because if it is too small then the chicken pieces may dry out.
