#chickenrecipes - This is a traditional Andhra delicacy. It is generally cooked with mutton, but I used chicken instead, as lean meat is far more healthier than red meat. Coming to this dish, it has a tangy taste because of the use of gongura (sorrel leaves). Make it a bit chatpata by increasing the quantity of red chilli powder as it will enhance the taste and flavour. Have it either with rice or any Indian bread.
