One of my favorite chicken speciality I used to relish in Andhra style restaurants in Bangalore, India, is Chicken Chathriya. I dont get these in any of the hotels here in US (alteast in NY). So I tried recreating the recipe relying on my taste buds and cooking knowledge. It came out very good. Try this recipe and you will taste what I am talking about.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
Chicken with bone or Drumsticks - 500gms or 1LB (skin out)
Onions - 2 big or 3 medium (Sliced)
Green Chillies - 10 to 15 (depending on how spicy you want)
Garlic Pods - 6 big or 9 small
Ginger - 1 x 2 inches
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera powder - 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice - 1 to 2 tsp (optional)
Corn flour - 1 to tsp
Cooking Oil - 3 to 4 tbsps.
Preparation:
1) Grind 5 greenchillies with a pinch of salt and little water in a mixie or blender.
2) Fry 1/3rd of the onion along with garlic and ginger in little oil. Grind to fine paste and keep.
3) Cut the chicken into medium size pieces. If you have bought drumsticks, cut the excess flesh in the drumstick. Wash it and marinate with the grounded greenchillies paste, salt and lemon juice. You can even marinate overnight by keeping in refrigerator.
Alteast 2 to 3 hours of marination is required.
4) Once marinated, in a pan add the oil and heat it. Fry the remaining onion and greenchillies. Add the masala and fry it. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and jeera powder and mix well and fry for a while.
5) Add the marinated chicken and mix well and allow it to cook. Dont add any water, the chicken should be cooked in the masala itself.
6) Once the chicken is cooked to a fine consistency, mix the corn flour in 1/4 cup of water and add to the chicken and mix well. Keep in low flame.
7) Now Chicken Chathriya is ready and it goes well with Chappathis or rice.

Thanks. My husband and I love this recipe. He always asks me to make this dish when we have guests. It is easy and real tasty dish. Thanks.
Hi, thanks for posting the recipe. i had been looking for Nandini's Kshatriya recipe, i tried out the recipe. it came out really well, everyone enjoyed it...
thanks.
I have tried this recipe couple of times and everytime i tried different versions and it came out really good. I think it is better tasting because of no tomatoes. Almost every restaurant users tomato puree as the base for a curry but this recipe does not use tomatoes.
Dear sir please post Nandini b sambar and dal recipe that they give in carrier meals.i very badly want the two recipes.please sir..
Hello Sunil, thanks for your comments. I will post the Yellow recipe that Andhra restaurants typically give. Please check the recipes section.
