Here is a chicken curry dish, that I have been taught to cook by my parents, I have only started cooking since I got married.I find it quite relaxing and there is just something satisfying about eating your own cooking.
It might take you 2 or 3 goes to get it right but it is well worth it. I have used boneless chicken pieces in the dish, which I prefer but just as easy to use chicken on the bone.
