    We call this Koodi Pulusu or Chicken Pulusu. Pulusu as in Telugu, means gravy which is not very thick but has running consistency. Amma prepares Chicken Pulusu with Dosa for Breakfast on Bhogi day during Sankranti or Pongal festival. Bhogi festival is not complete without this breakfast at our place. For Vegetarians, its Dosa with Jaggary and for Non-Veg, its always Chicken Pulusu with Dosa.

    Here you go for the recipe.

    Method to prepare:

    Chop chicken to desired size.

    Chop Onions, Tomatoes, coriander finely,

    Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds and bay leaf. Then add onion and sauté well. Fry till its light brown in colour, then add ginger garlic paste. Fry till the raw smell is gone. Add coriander leaves. Keep few leaves for garnishing.

    Then add chicken piece along with salt and turmeric pw. Fry on high flame for 5 mins. Ensure it doesn't get burnt.

    Then add chilli powder, coriander pw, fry well so that the chicken pieces gets a coating. Then add tomatoes pieces, simmer it for 5 mins. Then add water and coconut paste. cover it with lid and bring to 1 whistle.

    Once the pressure is out, remove the lid and put on high flame. Spinkle garam masala and then garnish with coriander leaves before removing from flame.

    This can be served with Ragi Sangati, Parotta, Ghee Rice, Pooris or even plain rice.
