  • Once done, finally add some finely chopped cilantro and switch off the stove.
  • That's it...Spicy Andhra Style Chicken Curry ready. Serve hot with rice or rotis or parotta.
Notes:
Adjust chili powder and green chili to your spice level.
Adding coconut and poppy seeds makes the curry rich, flavorful and gives your more quantity and taste.
But if you don't like poppy seeds, skip it and also you can replace coconut with coconut milk.
Make this curry little spicy, because the addition of poppy seeds and coconut will suppress the spice level.
I skipped cardamom with the masala powder , instead added 1 whole cardamom along with the onions and sauteed.
