The word chettinad comes from a region in southern Tamil Nadu that is known for its culinary delicacies. Here's one of my favorite side dishes you could prepare in minutes. The men at home like it coz it goes pretty well with beer too in which case you could cut the chicken a little larger than shown in the picture. The curry leaves & pepper are ingredients that pep up the dish & are must haves to make this a recipe most wanted!Ingredients:
