This is one of my favorite chicken curry.It has strong taste of cilantro which i love..Its very easy to make ,u don have to stand near the stove stirring which i hate to do..this is done all in pressure cooker..Usually when guests come over and i plan to make some chicken dish, i make sure that i add some cream ,nuts paste or coconut milk to make the curry more creamier ..I hav this weird idea that goes in my head that unless i add some of these to the curry it won be rich and good ..But this is one such curry which doesn't need any of those extra fittings but does taste really good.
