I know this is going to be another chicken Pulusu and I managed to make it a thali too with what was made on the day. With kids liking only chicken, it's only natural that we end up making different types of chicken gravy. Today's version is a recipe from my Aunt, Amma sister. She is from Kurnool and this is the method that's made in Kurnool District.

When Amma made it for the first time, I said I ought to take it step wise. But then we ended up making this type pretty often as kids liked it and well you know I couldn't take step wise. And making this so often I also realized this is much easier to make, though of course it depends on what you consider is easy.
