I had a hankering for a spicy chicken curry something different so i went to dig into my old recipe book & came up with something really good. " Chicken thoran" This recipe i had it at my- in- laws place i had loved the recipe so much that i came home & tried out 2 times to get the right taste, The only changes i did was instead of coconut slices i used grated coconut & once the dish was ready i placed the chicken dish in a banana leaf & wrapped it from all the sides & heated on a tava for 5-10 min for a lovely aroma.
