Not nice ,I got a bad comment
Dear Jasmine,
I really dont know what went wrong when you cooked this curry. This is the first time, i am getting a negative comment for this recipe. One very quick feedback, if you dont like the taste of coconut milk, then its not the recipe of your choice.

A fantastic curry that really impressed when I cooked it for my family. We are from Birmingham in the UK where there is a high Asian population and we have grown up eating a wide range of authentic Indian curries. This was a welcome addition to our repertoire! Thank you!
Dear Jake….Glad to know that my recipe is reaching different part of the world and is being liked by people :-)…….Happy Cooking!!!!
Hi Vimmy
I like it very much, We are suppose to have with Kerala rice, whether do you have any other kind of suitable recipe.
Thanks Suneesh!!!! I prefer to have this curry with Kerala Appam…..you can have with Kerala Rice, but i suggest to reduce the amount of gravy. You can take in the ingredients 3/4 cup of thin coconut milk and 1/2 cup of thick coocnut milk, you will get very thick gravy then and it will be nice with rice.
Really easy to make. I tried it 2 times and both came out very tasty!!! Thanks for sharing!
Dear Rijo,

when we are adding salt?
Dear Biju, we can add salt before adding the chicken pieces for cooking. Also check whether its sufficient before the final steps. I have added it now in the instructions and thanks for bringing it to my notice……Vimmy
