Tamarind Chicken Recipe (Bullet Chicken)


Tamarind chicken is an excellent side dish for southindian meals. I tasted this dish at a roadside shack the lady who prepares this dish had named it as bullet chicken because of the spicy guntur chilies. I personally enjoyed this fried chicken with sambar and rasam rice.
