Karaikudi Pepper chicken curry

The old year just passed away almost in a blink.To think back the last year has been a blessed one for me that i had my second lil angel in my arms last year.The older one and her growing up and many more pleasant instances and unpleasant but thats how life is meant to be no?

We bid good bye to this year in a few days and welcome the new year to look forward with hope and joy another 365 days filled with anxious moments and surprises.

Wishing you all a Very Happy 2014 from me!

We are enjoying our winter break and I just wanted to share this yummy recipe so i had added the pictures before i left to my drafts.

This is one super delicious recipe I highly recommend all my friends to try this.Its goes amazingingly well with all flavoured rice and flat breads especially kerala parotta.
