Requested: Nepali Style Chicken Curry Version 3 (Kukhura ko Jhol Masu) Recipe!!

People say chicken breast is the best meat of chicken but I prefer chicken thighs over breast. Especially when making curries, I always get chicken thighs. However for those who do not like bones may not like thigh meat of chicken. Therefore, if you do not like bones in your curry, chicken breast is a great alternative as well. Here you go guys, without any further rambling, here I present you the yummy chicken curry recipe. Also, do not forget to check out other chicken curry recipes in my blog. (Click here for Juwano/Ajwain Chicken Curry Recipe) and (Click here for Chicken Curry/Gravy Recipe).
