KARI AYAM

Kari Ayam, a Malaysian dish:
I served with Potato crisps, Tomato-onion Raita and Sago vadas.

Kari Ayam literally means Chicken Curry in Malaysian. I came across this recipe somewhere on the internet, unfortunately I cannot remember the site now.It's a delicious recipe most probably from Indians settled in Malaysia since the ingredients are very similar to Indian dishes.Hope you like it as much as I do!
