Chicken Curry

Chicken Curry, the day i prepared Egg biryani i prepared this delicious curry.. simple yet comfort south indian Chicken curry pairs well with Roti, pulao, Biryani and why not to the hot steamed rice and Idli Dosa..

Love the flavours and taste blended with the Coconut milk and spices.. the time you marinate leaves chicken to takes the masala, Over night marination results you a good taste.. Over night marination means for put all the marinated ingredients and mix them refrigerate it for 8- 10 hours.. i had a good support for the continues blogging days.. well this is my “Day 15 of B365” more 350 days to go..
