A slightly sweeter chicken curry due to the use of coconut and tomato puree. The garam masala is added when cooking the spices, not at the end of cooking which is more normal. This dish originates from the Deccan region of India. Fresh coconut is essential to get the best from this dish. It is very simple to cook, serve with plain boiled rice and a vegetable curry. Delicious.
