Playing with recipes (Chicken Curry)

Last time we went to India and we had delicious Chicken Briyani, hope you enjoyed yours because i certainly did. I know you wouldn't forget in a hurry the long list of ingredients we had to use, the good news is, virtually all those ingredients are the basics to every Indian recipe, so having filled my kitchen store with Indian ingredients i had to desperately search for more Indian recipe that i can comfortably eat and enjoy and make over and over again (lol).
And i found this recipe, didn't need to buy much, i had virtually all the ingredients waiting to be used in a sealed container...hehehe.
Let us prepare Chicken Curry.
