CHETTINAD CHICKEN SAUSAGES

Chettinad cuisine from South India has everything that could give you a great feasting experience. To mention in particular the "Chettinad chicken". The masala used to prepare the chicken is really very spicy and has got a very nice blend of "South Indian spices". I have tried this time to blend in the masala in the chicken sausages to prepare a quick and spicy treat.
