On my last visit to India I had this at a restaurant in Erode and really liked it. I have been trying to perfect this recipe for a while to get the restaurant taste, bit this is almost close.
We cook mushroom as an alternative for the days you cannot have non-veg. I used local brown wild mushrooms but any mushroom works.
I wanted to try chicken kheema for a long time. One of the times before I was going to make Idili I saw ground chicken at Whole Foods, couldn’t resist buying as they go very well together.
This is how exactly we prepare the Chicken Kulambu in Kongunadu. We don’t normally eat Non-Veg during the month of Puratasi. So we make substitues for chicken during that period. This recipe is a substitute of Chicken Curry Kulambu. Cabbage can also be replaced with Mushroom or Potato. Home made Curry Masala is the plus here, it gives the extra flavor and also a unique taste.
When I went to one of my friend’s house, they prepared this gravy for dinner. Oh man !! I really fell in love with that since then. It’s been yrs since I prepared, so I don’t remember the recipe exactly. Each time I prepare this, I try to get to the original. Am trying still, when I get it exactly, I will update this post with the additional details.
