Kolhapur pandra rassa (white chicken curry)

  Hi, this is yet another curry from kolhapur, here since curry is white, it is less spicy when compared to taambda curry, you can serve this dish  to kids.  You can also spice it up by adding green chilli paste(here i didnt add any) And yes, as told before you could add this base for veggi/mutton also.  This resembles some soupy consistency, so best can be had with dosas or appam.

  

Ingredients required:

• 250 gm of chicken
• one and half cup of chicken stock (got by pressure cooking chicken for one whistle, the remaining water makes the stock)
