#ES Chettinad chicken gravy is a popular chicken dish all over south india. Chicken chettinad is a classic dish from the chettinad cuisine. This curry has lots of freshly roasted spices and coconut which is then ground to a fine paste and added it to the chicken. Your total house will smell heavenly when you make this. And I cooked the chicken in pressure cooker, if you don't have one, just make this in a kadai and simmer it for a long time till the chicken is cooked.
