When in doubt, simply go back to basics. This chicken curry is just that. This recipe is so versatile and can be used at various occasions. A simple breakfast of idli, dosa or appam or a light lunch with classic steamed rice or even at dinner parties with a side of Pav. I’ve even used it as soup …like the Indian version of a Laksa. Its tasty, easy, nutritious and can be made in a jiffy.  So fret not, Ive got you covered for a mid-week meal.
