For seasoning

Onion 1 chopped
Green chillies silted 2
Cloves 2
Cinnamon 1'' 2pcs
Cardamom 2
Curd 1 tbsp
Tamarind small lemon size (extract juice from tamarind)

Method:-

Take oil in a pan,heat it and add cinnamon,cloves and cardamom.Once they crackle add onions and fry till brown in colour.Add green chillies and fry.
Add masala paste and fry till oil comes out.

Add curd and saute of 2-3 minutes.

Then add tamarind juice and let it boil for another 3-4 minutes.

  4. I love chicken more than anything...my brother keeps telling that 'kodi pulusu' will be good, but I am kind of skeptical to try chicken with tamarind...after seeing ur post, I have now confidence to make one on my own. Good one, heard so much about it:)
