Chicken is spiced and cooked in thick coconut milk. I sometimes grind coconut and use as such but coconut milk always adds rich and delicious taste to curry. We can do lot of variations to this base curry by adding cashews, red chillies, fennel seeds or pepper while grinding.
If you use canned coconut milk or coconut milk powder this curry can be prepared quickly within 30 minutes.We like to add potatoes to chicken curry. Whenever we get chicken, my mom take most of the boneless pieces for making gravy or fried items and use the rest of the chicken with bones and potatoes to make curry.
