Restaurant style Chicken Curry /Creamy Chicken Curry with Coconut and Cashew Nut Paste)/Chicken Kuruma

Just living is not enough…one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower” Hans Christian Andersen.
Yeah 😀 Just came back from an awesome seaside vacation in Malaysia and obtained handful precious gems to add in my memory chest 🙂 the place was very nice and peaceful. We family enjoyed the salty breeze, swaying trees and dancing waves so much 🙂 really relaxing atmosphere and days! Also we experienced variety of seafood with traditional authentic taste 🙂 Sure! We will return back there again and recollect all 😀
Like everyone after the holiday, I am so lazy to enter my kitchen even though its magical 🙁 😉 but I know that Onam/ ഓണം (the festival celebrated in Kerala, India) is around the corner and I have to prepare banana Upperi (banana chips), sharkkara peratti ((a traditional Kerala sweet with raw banana and Jaggery),kaduku managa (traditional Kerala green mango pickle), naranga achar (lime pickle), Inji curry (ginger curry) etc. etc. for coming Onam celebration and Onam Sadya 🙂 so I said my mind to get out from that laziness 🙂 and decide to cook something prime and similar to restaurant menu. 🙂 because I realise that My taste bud is really missing and longing for some Indian curry so I prepared this aromatic and creamy restaurant style chicken curry with Jeera/Cumin rice, yogurt veg salad and pappad. It is an awesome combo and this nut and coconut creamy curry is also an excellent combo with chapatti, Naan, prata etc.. And we family always used to order this creamy chicken gravy with garlic Naan’s from Indian restaurants 🙂 try this lips smacking indian chicken curry and enjoy 🙂
