The Ultimate Chicken sukka of south Indian, one of the famous dish delicious delicacy and simple recipe even for the beginners to make.
Small pearl shallots are used and as I couldn't get small shallots I used the pearl onion. You can just use the small shallots alone without any onion it will taste better and whole garlic will give a nice flavor to the dish.
