Chicken Curry

This is a not a long step process gravy but an awesome gravy which goes well with Roti/Chapathi and also a better combo with Rice. The gravy tastes perfect whem cooked in low flame where the spice powders and masalas gets incorporated with the chicken pieces and gravy. The gravy would be a simple reicpe for bachelors to enjoy their weekend spice up homecooked foods and here we go with the recipe :-)
