Today’s special for the Cooking from the Cookbook Challenge is yet another recipe from Amma’s dairy. As I had said a while back, I am keen on trying out all the recipes she had written in it since a long time. This spicy chicken fry has become the latest favorite with all at home. We have already been making it weekly, somehow I never came around clicking pictures of the dish in question.
