Curry Leaf Chicken

Curry Leaf Chicken is a simple, healthy yet delicious chicken preparation! I had first tried this recipe in 2001! Although, in many recipes we use curry leaves for seasoning, this is one of those recipes where they are part of the main ingredients!

Many studies and research have pointed towards the anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic and anti-diabetic properties of curry leaves. So, unreservedly, I recommend this recipe to you all!
