Chicken curry is made everywhere around the world with a bit of ingredient variation in different regions, proportion of spices varying in homes. Homestyle chicken curry is basic curry made in all homes across South India. This is the familiar template for most of the south Indian curry : you heat up oil, saute onions, ginger garlic paste, souring agent (tomatoes usually), ground masala, meat then water, cook until done. Serve with rice or roti. And that’s what I’m doing here.Do check the video attached.
