    Home Style Chicken Kuzhambu | Easy Chicken Curry with step by step pictures and Video

    Chicken Curry in India is a basic affair. It pairs up well with almost anything and everything. To be frank chicken curry is the first dish I learned to cook. You can never go wrong with preparing a chicken curry. This is from my experience.

    Chicken when added with the right masala and spices cooks in perfectly. I have a good fan base for this recipe.

    I have also used a flavourful coconut paste by dry roasting the coconut along with the whole spices which make the curry a flavorful one.
