SAUCY CHICKEN a.k.a SUSY CHICKEN!

Here it is as promised, the recipe for Saucy Chicken. This one comes straight from my mother's recipe collection.A curry which has been requested to be made over and over again because it tastes SO good! Eventually, this curry is now known as Susy Chicken (my daddy dearest is responsible for this!). Oh! For all those who are wondering who Susy is, well she is my superwoman celebrity Amma! :)

If there is a house where no curry should be re-heated because the father and son thinks a LOT of water is being added into the curry during the re-heating process [re-heating on a stovetop] or every curry needs to be freshly made or all 3 meals should have different stuff, it is mine! :)

Gradually my mother has learnt all the tricks that needs to fool such a husband and son and the daughter is planning to follow it dutifully! ;) Talk about 'like mother like daughter!' :D The first day it would be chicken roast, the next day it would be chicken curry...all with the addition of coconut milk etc! :)

But, this curry is not like that :D It was freshly made by the still-freshly-married young woman for her ever-loving husband! Ahem! Yes, love is very much in the air! ;)
