Chicken Kurma

Chicken Kurma is a yummy gravy dish with the richness of coconut and cashews. The dish goes well with pretty much any thing.
I always cook chicken in a curry form or dry roast but wanted to try something a bit rich and it came out well the first time and everyone loved it. So, now I make this one often with white rice or chapati most of the times.
