Andhra Pepper Chicken is a typical restaurant style dish

This recipe is more of a restaurant-style dish. These days, gastropubs come out with several appetizers that go well with drinks and this recipe falls in that category.  I can’t remember exactly which restaurant I tried this dish but one evening I was desperately craving some spicy peppery chicken dish. Tugga’s best friend is from Andhra and I called her mother, Purnima, and asked her for the recipe for Andhra pepper chicken. She explained the dish to me and she also mentioned how it is not typically made at home. On the first go, it was a super hit at home and with our friends. I made it a couple of times more. Shared it with more of my family and everyone loved it. 

You can also try this very interesting Mutton liver masala which has flavours from Telangana. 

Or how about some Spicy mutton pakodas?
