Chicken chettinad 2

This is almost the same version Of kudupi raj maams recipe with slight changes which I had posted yesterday. I've been preparing this recipe for more than 7-8 years.This is the recipe of Sanjeev Kapoor with slight changes.This  picture is from one of my old folder which I had posted in a food group long time back.Even the slight changes in the recipe changes the taste of the dish.In this dish the taste is enhanced with the flavor of curry leaves which also gives a South Indian touch and the crunchy coconut bits.This dish is one of my personal favorite.I borrowed this recipe from my cousin Divya with her modifications which I have mentioned in the last recipe. Divya is a fantastic cook  who presently resides in USA.Thanks a lot Di for this yummy recipe.
