I started enjoying mint and coriander flavor with chicken and wanted to try out something new and different. While searching I found this recipe interesting and tried it with a little customization. So feel free to experiment with what you like or don’t like and share how it turned out.
This is a superb combo with Coconut Rice or any variety rice. This definitely would turn out well for parties due to the different flavor than regular chicken curries. I added coconut milk to give it that extra richness. You can add fresh ground coconut or frozen coconut.
