We are going to attend my friend Nameeta's wedding tomorrow, which is the most awaited wedding by me..I am really really excited about that. She is one of the amazing person I have ever seen in my entire life. So jovial, takes everything very sportive,totally awesome.. She will be leaving to US in a week, and I am really gonna miss her a lot..So NAMEETA, I am wishing you a very very happy married life. Enjoy you life as much as possible dear..
Now coming back to the recipe..Chicken curry is my favorite one.I make it in a different way each time. But last week I made a herby chicken curry which was perfect. It had the lovely aroma of lots of fresh mint and cilantro in it. To add a little richness, I added some cashews too. It was a total hit in my house. This curry taste best with rice or roti..
