Chicken Gravy and Chops:

  This chicken gravy is very spicy and tasty. The taste will be perfect if we use the whole chicken with bone and skin. This process does not require any marinating. Quick and easy method. Both gravy and chops can be prepared with the same masalas and in less time. We used to say it as Chicken Varutha Curry.
