Quick and easy coconut-based chicken curry! Darling and delicious I should say ☺. This dish is silky smooth, creamy, ultra-thick and is deep in flavour. It is a south Indian style Kurma made with coconut, chicken and green chillies. We always make kurma at our home as a side dish for naan, paratha, and any type of rice. It is best to even with plain store-bought sandwich bread. Trust me, it is!
I always like to make curries at home; they make our home smell with aroma. I like making kurma as it is easy and quick to prepare.
Covid-19 has changed many people life drastically. I think I am blessed that it did not make it any worse for me. However, all the time I have makes me think not even overthink on my life and life decisions. Makes me wonder on this life a lot. A lot of people are happy that they could spend time with their family and I miss that now a lot and my parents a lot. I know staying home safe lives. But I guess for a year meeting no one and following rules has made me little mad on things. I was positive for a year but now it is hitting me a big time. Whatever I will still hope things will get better. Hope is a good thing. It might be stormy now, but rain doesn’t last forever.
