Summary:

Today I have decided to post Spicy Chinese Chicken Curry Kerala Style, Which I got an idea from   a cookery show in Tv. As the name shows This recipe won't fit under the Tradational Chinese Chicken. I don't know Whether Authentic Chinese Chicken recipe altered and making it in Kerala style ( My Style ) is a good idea?!. Anyway this is something that I used to make whenever I get a chance with my sisters kids. It is a fantastic food and easy to make too. In this I have used green chillies, coriander powder,tomato,red chilli powder,Turmeric powder etc..Which may don't use normally. So it is a total mixed stuff. Made this about a few times and now it is one of my favourite recipe.I hope you will also like it and you must try it. Cheers.
