Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken pieces
Grind together
2 med onion
2 tomatos
8 green chillis
8 garlic cloves
small ginger
tsp black pepper
bunch of fresh coriander
For garnish and marinade
few sprigs of curry leaves
tsp turmeric powder
tsp garam masala
tbsp kokum
5 tbsp oil

PS I wanted to try something different. therefore used coconut as a base for the chicken curry. I also understood how important to combine coconut and pepper corns. Unless you use this spice, the green chillis don't add the spicy punch to the curry.
