    Even thoug I don't like ethakayya so much, but this is looking very tempting. Sad I don't get it in Africa, though the bannanas here are huge, n I have mistaken them for our ethapayzham.....

Murgh Chukandar/Beetroot Chicken

Murgh Chukandar/Beetroot Chicken Murgh Chukandar is a tasty chicken curry with wonderful natural bright red color. This color is from beetroot as the name suggests- chukandar means beets in Hindi and Urdu. You can also make with gosht/mutton.
