This is a beautiful chicken curry... the flavour... the taste... the aroma... is just so heavenly...
Not like the ready made curry powder that we buy off the grocer shelf... The taste of this Kari Kai is very different... you just have to try it.... you'll want more with every bite.... Its good to go with Nasi Kunyit too....
