I learned this dish for Benna aunty, amith's aathi. Now i've excelled this dish becoz of her. She was the only person who told me that Dum chicken is once of the easiest chicken dish. I was confused then but now i totally agree with her. Again she is a great cook. Hoping to learn more recipes from her kitchen for all of US.

It is a easy chicken dish when you have guests at home.
