Coconut chicken is something new when compared to other  CHICKEN RECIPES.. I wanted to make new dishes & surprise my hubby.. Actually he don't like the coconut is added to non-veg curries... But he just loved the coconut chicken, because always south-Indian food tends to be lighter dried than the creamier curries... It can be served as starter... Kids will definitely love this recipe, because its less spicy...Crisp at outside & soft inside... Absolutely it is yummy chicken!!!!!

Ground coconut paste in the masala add a fragnant to the particular dish.. It is a key note of the recipe... And fried onions & curry leaves gives nice flavor to the recipe.. It is very easy & simple recipe, especially for bachelors.. Finally, it is super hit recipe of Priya's kitchen... :)
