Nothing fancy just a simple meal that tasted so good????????. After trying a dozen chicken curry recipes I have finally stuck to this one. It's the best.

Method

Once you get the smell of the spices add in your chicken ( I soaked the chicken on vinegar then rinsed it) with salt, tumeric and ginger and garlic.
