Parsi Red Chicken Curry


Hey, want to have something fiery and hot !!! I am a person who loves spicy food. Parsi red chicken curry , you can make it as spicy as you want. It has a lovely red color. Don't be shocked by seeing the number of red chillies used in this dish. You can reduce the numbers to satisfy your spice levels. The red chillies are de - seeded  to reduce the hotness. It will go well with pulao or fried rice. After moving to the U.S this was the first dish I made when I had some guests. It was a big hit. It has become 'A' favorite. Whenever I make fried rice he force me to prepare this dish. I am a person who wants to try different dishes. But during his b'day I couldn't reject his request and made it. I could see a big smile on his face. 

Let me warn you this ain't for the faint hearted !!!!
