Indian cuisine is known for its flavors and spices, and the best part is the usage of natural herbs to bring the flavor. One such herb that brings flavors to our southern Indian curries is curry leaves ( karivepaku ). It is also called kadhi patta. Apart from culinary usage, curry leaves can be used both in fresh and dry form. This local Indian herb has many nutritional values and is rich in protein, fiber, calcium, vitamins, and minerals. These leaves can also be used to shed extra kilos, which helps to lower cholesterol levels.

Chicken is most of the nonveg lover's favorite food. When this chicken is done with aromatic and healthy herbs, that will be the best healthy chicken curry.

For this recipe firstly clean the curry leaves and keep them aside till the moisture leaves, then dry roast the curry leaves till they are crispy. These crispy curry leaves give more flavor and aroma. To make the curry a bit gravy, I added dry coconut and cashews to the masala and blend.

For any tender, juicy and soft chicken recipe, marinating the chicken is one of the important steps in chicken recipes. Before marinating the chicken clean and soak the chicken in saltwater for about 20 minutes. Soaking the chicken in saltwater gives more tender and soft chicken.
