Parsee Red Chicken Curry

Previously said that I received a Fabulous Giveaway Book of '50 great Curries of India' from Mrs.Reva of
Karasaaram  for the Royal Feast Biryani Event(Thanks again Dear) & delighted to do a recipe from this book. Though its a Lent time till Easter and we don't spend much on Fooditems this period strictly avoiding all Non-Veg food preparation,making it as simple as possible, yet happy to post a Chicken Curry from that book. Its called Red Chicken Curry(A Parsee Preparation) since its done with less ingredients n needs less cooking time.

The Author Camila Punjabi says that this Mumbai Parsee homestyle Curry yields a bright red chicken Curry which has a Goan influence on this curry. The rich red colour is from the use of Good-quality Kashmiri Red Chillies and I tried this recipe with boneless Chicken and added a greenchilli (optional) as it needed in the last stage to make it spicy good. The crushed bayleaf added may luk like curry leaves in the clicks. Strict Vegetarians can try this recipe with baby potato, paneer, mushroom, capsicum, Cauliflower or soy chunks. Enjoy Easy homemade Curries and Enjoy Ur Meal!. Now to the Droolworthy Chicken recipe!.
