Gentl & Hyers

This chicken dish is named after the famed fiery Guntur Sannam chilli from the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. A masala reduction coats each piece of chicken by the end of the cooking process. The masala caramelizes and the spices concentrate, fuse together, and permeate the meat.
