#cookpadindiaturns2 - Looking for an easy and a citrus flavoured chicken curry? Then here is a simple recipe with minimum of spices. Light on your tummy and good for the kids too, as it is not spicy. You can adjust the amount of green chilies according to your preference.
If you want a soup like consistency increase the quantity of water. Relish with plain steamed rice, jeera rice, pulao, plain biryani or just plain chapati.
