Chicken Gravy with Coconut Milk

This recipe with Chicken infused & flavored with the spices and rich coconut milk is truly delicious and a keeper one. The rich and vibrant coconut milk enlightens the gravy and also filled the kitchen with enticing aromas.

The gravy is definitely a finger licking one and we enjoyed having it for lunch with plain rice in one of our moody weekend and also with chapathi for dinner. Both ways the gravy suited well. I was happy that my Mr. liked it apart from his favorite red chicken gravy.
