Makai Chicken Curry - Corn Chicken Curry - Mirch Masala (2)

If left to the will of my laziness, I would make my go-to everyday chicken curry for AJ. Sometimes, my will power takes over that of my laziness’ and I go look up recipes in my books, on the internet and what not and make something a little more interesting like this. When I first read the name, it did not sound very appealing and I don’t know what made me choose this curry to make that day. Oh yes, I remember now. I had breast tenders with no bone and was looking for a recipe that called for boneless chicken and there are very few of them, so that is how I narrowed in on this one.

To add to that, I had all the other ingredients it called for as well. So the decision was made. I pulled out my pots and pans, chopping board, masala dabba (spice box) and got to cooking!
