In Tamil Nadu, chicken curry tastes varies from district to district and from home to home. I usually tend not to make the same recipe again and again, I love to make different styles of chicken curry each time. Today, I am sharing My grandma style chicken curry. This chicken curry can be enjoyed on weekends, parties, pot lucks, buffets, festivals, etc.,
For this recipe, I took boneless chicken, if it is with bone and skin which tastes even great for this dish. Grinding fresh whole spices along with freshly grated coconut gives an excellent taste and flavor to this curry. I didn’t pressure cooked this chicken curry and I cooked in an open pot method.
