Easy and yummy chicken curry

Today I thought of sharing the most easiest chicken curry recipe of my kitchen. Cooking gets completed in just few steps yet tastier than lots of other complicated recipes. The secret of taste in this recipe is the roasting of the chicken curry. The more you keep patience with the roasting time of the curry, the tastier is the resulting outcome.
