Chicken with onion gravy

This Chicken dish does not require coconut and uses green chillies as the heat agent. It is flavoured with a hint of nutmeg and curry leaves. Allow this dish to rest for at least half an hour if not more before serving. The flavours need time to marry.

I cooked this dish keeping in mind families that may want to be frugal with the use of chicken yet who may want to have a nice Sunday chicken dish.
