Spicy Chicken Chettinad Curry Made with Authentic Chettinad Masala | Prep Time 30 Mins

Chicken Chettinad is one of the most flavorful chicken dishes from South Indian cuisine. It is also one of the most ordered curries in a south Indian restaurant. Chettinad Chicken is traditionally eaten with rice, dosa, or appam. But I enjoyed it with naan or roti as well.
