Malvani Chicken Masala is a recipe for spice lovers out there! This hot delicacy will leave all your taste buds tingling for more! There are lots of different ways to prepare an authentic-tasting chicken recipe. The one I’ve posted is a tried and tested one made lots of times by me personally, and it’s never once failed to make everyone at home happy yet! Have it with plain steamed rice, with fluffy rice flour bhaakris, or with soft, white dosas like the ones shown in the pictures. The Bhakri-Curry combo is always a hit, especially in the interiors of Maharashtra and Konkan, isn’t it?!
