Annita,
This is a lovely recipe, had a very novice query, can we use boneless chicken in place of chicken with bone… ?? I am kinda new to non vegetarian cooking and for me .. Yours and Malluspice’s blog are kind of tutorials. So thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks Annu,traditionally,it is prepared with boned chicken…U can try with boneless too..

Hi,
I am going to try this recipe soon and I have to buy the ingredients first. Is this dish very spicy? If so, what can I do to have mild flavor? Am I able to get ginger-garlic paste in the Indian grocery store? Thanks!

Think the coconut milk is missing, well I’m goingto try it anyway.
I love my curries real spicy, I grind my cloves, aniseed and Cinnamon addit tio my ground chillies and corriander, with lots of onions garlic and ginger and a little more of curry leaves, added pepper and chilli to give it the kick, goes well with everything including the scotch (whisky) uess that’s very Malayalee too.
i purposly avoided coconut milk,Francis…just to amke it more spicy..My husband is not a great fan of coconut milk based dishes…

hi annita,
coconut water mixed with a pinch of sugar kept overnight in warm temperature gives a toddy effect the next day
Anoop said
kollam .. it was easy and smooth going .. and the end result was really nice .. given the skill of the chef ;-) .. a bachelor’s praise may be one that may be discarded but .. the colour and flavour is great and reminds me of my ammachi’s preperations ..

Aussie_Tony said
I am a beginner to cooking authentic curries.
Silly question time! Are the chillies used whole or chopped. If chopped with or without seeds. Long or short?
My wife and I do not like too much chillie and always get confused on which are the hotter ones etc so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
alvin chekot said

Aussie_Tony said
Can anybody tell me how they prepare the green chilli for this recipe?
Is it left whole and just split down the side, OR
Chopped up, OR
Whole with seeds removed, OR
??

Sophia said
Hey Annita..I absolutely new to cooking and this by far is the simplest recipe for chicken I’ve come across.I have a very basic,and frankly stupid question.When you say ‘tsp’ for the measurement of the spices do you actually mean tea-spoon or table-spoon? Because Ive seen my mother taking table spoons of the spices..so I just wanted to know what you meant..please do reply :)
Tony said
Sophia – as an Aussie who makes this recipe all the time – you can be assured that they are teaspoon measurements.
I have also found that adding 3 tomatoes is a interesting change. This recip also taught me how important patience is when making the masala – the longer you take the better it tastes!!
Sophia said
Thanks a lot tony.Im actually gonna cooking this right now.Your reply came just in time! :)
Sophia said
I meant cook! :D
Tony said
Sophia – Glad to be of help I am sure you will enjoy your efforts. I have not seen Annita post here for a long time.
