CHENNAI CHICKEN CURRY
A tasty simple to make curry from the south of India. I have cooked this dish many times, and eaten it while I was in India. The chicken is marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture before cooking. The marinating only takes 15 mins. From start to finish under 1 hour, for a super curry.
