Easy chicken cooker recipe



This is a very simple recipe and a savior recipe if you have sudden guests coming over . My mom makes it a dozen of time , with pathirri and Pathal . Chicken is mixed well with spices and oniions and there is no stiring or cooking for long time ' required for this recipe.
The ingredients are also very less and you will get a nice bowl full of gravy that can be had  along with chapathis or ghee rice .

Mom follows only  few recipes and they are all finger licking clean. Chicken curry and coconut grind curries are always famous in North Kerala. They are all easy to follow and the best part is only few ingredients are needed.
There is so much going on and we are all living on the edge . The networks and the papers are filled with  atrocities being comitted as a result of the CAB and NRC bills almost being processed. We are tensed here in India as we do not know exactly how things are going to come about to this regards... only time can tell ..something's for sure, whatever's destined it will happen,and I hope this will pass us. Thinking too much isn't supportive for us and getting mentally challenged about things isn't going to help us anytime soon. Inshallah, whatever said our weather is cooling as we are having some winters coming by..hope next year brings us some good news too...

Coming back to today's recipe, I always have some easy recipes for stand by and this is very helpful when I have to finish our chores quick especially when I am lazy to cook ☺️.
