Moms Chicken Curry
I got a call from my cousin last Sunday; they were visiting my mom and dad that weekend and she had just finished her lunch. Now my mom is an amazing cook, but she hasn’t been cooking much due to her health. This weekend was different though, mom cooked goat meat, chicken and bla bla for them which of course made me so jealous, but this is the fate I have chosen so can’t complain much. Well my cousin told me that the chicken curry was just out of the world, you know “Baap toh baap hota hai” (Dad is always the dad, no matter what ) is what she said although its “maa” in reality lol. She of course was mesmerized by the taste of the dish but was also in awe of the simplicity of the recipe. I told her I know what you are talking about, mom just makes it so good although it’s a very simple recipe. She insisted its high time you told the rest of the world about it, I again reminded her that it’s a really simple dish but Okay ill write it up. And here I am now, typing this recipe for you all… do try it okay 😊
