Chicken Curry | Chicken Rasa Recipe

Now a days I like to make chicken curry/sabzi which can be eaten with just plain steamed rice so I don’t have to make any other side dish.  This curry fits the bill perfectly, after making few methods am set with this easy chicken curry as I am still learning to cook chicken and hopefully will make fish some day soon.   It goes well with plain rice, jeera rice, peas pulav or roti and taste delicious, without much effort.  Normally I use boneless chicken for any curry and the few pieces that comes with bone (though we buy bonelss!) make Chicken Clear Soup, two-in-one Try this simple chicken curry and I’m sure you will love this too.
