Abhi, I am glad you liked my version and thx for letting me know that..about the recipe index,nowdays i am busy with some personal works, so not able to update it, surely will do that ASAP..sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your support.
I was searching for chicken curry recipe and thought to prepare it in new style. While searching your blog I came to this post. Your version is good and the method is also good.
I combined your version and the chicken curry from blog "Collaborative curry" and prepared it.
I cooked the chicken first and then did the remaining process. I hope you haven't yet added the recipe index. Since there were tags so it was easy to find. A recipe index would be great.
Thanks Remya, Anmonymous,krishna for your enocuraging words.
@krishna I used sakthi chicken masala…:)
