#chickenrecipes - This is one amazing and a delicious Chicken Curry cooked with Ridge Gourd. As I wanted to cook the chicken with some sort of vegetables, I ended up adding Turai to it. The end result was simply yummy and I enjoyed with some hot phulkas for my dinner. It is a very simple and a wholesome dish.
