ABOUT Chicken Puli Munchi/Chicken in Tangy Hot curry- Mangalorean style RECIPE

The last couple of days I have been missing home a lot, was feeling a wee bit low…. to pep me up, I prepared just that dish which I knew would help me feel better.. :) & guess what.. it did soar my spirits up.. :) Just a whiff of it simmering away made me feel just right..! Sometimes having loads of time at your disposal can be dangerous as well…! I’m glad I had unexpected company for lunch today. :) Thanks Waqar for dropping by, you also did help in making me feel better. Oh yes, he loved the curry as well.
