Hyderabadi Dum Chicken curry- Inspired from the chicken curry preparation for the Dum chicken Biryani.

It took me almost a months time to get settled down in my new place. Little one was down with fever, then followed me and then my mom. After we settled down hale and healthy, i thought of inviting my good friend Veera Raghavan, who has been a support throughout till date for JinoosKitchens’ success. Every now and then giving tips and tweaks to correct my faults.

For almost a years time, am planning to meet him with my family to introduce my husband and my little one. Am still planning 🙂 You know how difficult it is managing kid and planning becomes a flop every time. So last week when i invited and he aid yes, Me and my husband planned a menu where he said he wants me to make my special pallipalayam chicken. He was confident with this dish as it never goes fail 🙂

For curry, i wanted to try something different. My husband always suggested me to take out little curry when making dum biryani as it smells and tastes so good. I thought ok, lets make dum chicken curry. So i marinated as like we do for biryani and made curry out of it. Believe me, It came sooo good but the sad thing was we had to finish it off alone without the guest. As usual the plan got flopped But luckily the curry wasn’t 🙂
