Khatti Moongphalli wali Murgh
The weather has been too hot and humid during the past few weeks and the weather forecast says its still going to stay so for the next few days as well. And during this type of weather, its quite unbearable to spend time in the kitchen in front of the stove preparing long and laborious meals. Speedy and quick recipes like this one come for my rescue here.
Khatti Moongphalli wali Murgh – Hot and Sour Chicken with powdered Groundnut
The nutty taste of groundnut, a little hotness from the small green chillies and a slight acidic flavor of the amchur go very well along with the mild chicken here. This delicious dish gets prepared in less than 30 minutes.

Mona this is so delicious I bet it would go nice with some bread and rice. 😀 I have never used amchur what is it please?
Jeena, Amchoor/Amchur powder is: sour, unripe mangoes that are dried in sun and sold in slices or in powdered form. You can get this in any Indian grocery stores. ~Mona
