Chinthamani Chicken is a famous dish in Kongu Nadu areas. It is a spicy dish with juicy flavors of dry red chilly. So no doubt it will be a favorite one for people who loves spicy food . You don't need much ingredients to prepare since it is a simple recipe with chicken cut into small size with loads of dry red chilly and shallots. You will automatically get tempted seeing the color and oil getting separated for the chicken while cooking.

Check the recipe give below and do try at home.

                            Once when I went to my aunt's house, she ordered me this dish. It was like our usual chicken 65 with little twist in it. Taste was also quite different and good. Only few restaurants have this dish in their menu. So whenever I find it at any restaurant, this will be my first thing to order. But still few restaurants doesn't prepare same way. Even two days back, I ordered it but was completely prepared in different method. So thought of preparing at home and referred YouTube and food blogs.  I found only few recipes and also it was not the one I tasted in restaurants. I guessed the ingredients myself with the taste I had and gave it a try. It is just fried chicken and sauted with few ingredients. To my surprise, it was success😃. It was same as I tasted in restaurants. It is a simple and must - try recipe from my side😋. Do check the recipe below👇.         Preparati...

ONION TOMATO THOKKU RECIPE | SIDE DISH FOR CHAPATHI - HAPPIEE EATZ

By Sahana

Onion Tomato Thokku is one of my favourite side for chapathi.  It is a great side dish for chapathi and can also be used for idly, dosa and aapam.  You don't need much ingredients for this and can be done quickly. It is also a beginnerly friendly dish. It has mild sweet taste in it to balance the rawness of tomato and masala. I hate garlic in few dishes because of its soggy texture. But, in this dish, I love to add more garlic by chopping it finely and frying it to golden brown. Trust me, it gives a great taste to the dish. Kindly don't judge since I had mentioned it has mild sweet taste in it ,this recipe is my way of preparation. Try this at your home following the recipe given below and tell me your feedback in comments.                                                Preparation Time - 10 minutes | Cooking Time - 10  minutes | Total time - 20 minutes ...
