Follow this recipe for this restaurant worthy, HOMEMADE Mangalorean Chicken dish. It is a sure shot crowd pleaser and is super quick and easy. 

Old Fashioned Gourmet makes fantastic Curry-in-a-hurry blends. These blends are inspired by the paucity of time in today's day and age. They have been curated from Heirloom recipes for various vegetables and meats to suit individual flavor bringing the exact flavor every time to create a winner dish consistently saving you time and effort. The spices are sundried, hand sorted, individually roasted and then pounded to perfection. We use Premium spices some of which are even ancient ones, no longer commonly used like Long peppers, stone flower etc.

Two of our most popular ones are Aaloo Dum Masala and Mangalore Ghee roast Masala. While these two blends can be used individually to make different curries-in-a-hurry together they can also be used to make this fabulous preparation. It seems super quick once you see the outcome, seems almost like from a restaurant. 

We have posted an IGTV video on our Instagram page as well.

f you have read our other blog, Chicken Chettinaad, you may realise that the basic steps for both the recipes are the same. Just the Curry-in-a-hurry masalas added in the end are different. So in case you are planning to make a bigger menu, you can make extra coconut onion paste and add different masala for different dishes using different main ingredient. For example you can use chicken or paneer for the Chicken Chettinaad recipe using the Bharwan masala and Prawn or Aaloo for the Chicken Sukke using the Aaloo Dum Masala and Mangalore Ghee Roast Masala.
