This Mother’s Day I am sharing with you a very Easy & Light  Chicken Curry.

Now if you are wondering why a Chicken Curry for Mother’s Day. My mother is an amazing cook herself. However, now a days she is not keeping too well. She is on heavy medication for the last few years. Due to medicine she has lost her appetite and also is not able to relish food. She also has many diet restrictions. She is allowed Chicken once a week, so I thought of making this Easy & Light Chicken Curry which she could eat with rice.

I made this chicken curry keeping in mind that it should be light, not spicy and yet tasty. One thing that I have learnt from my mother is that any food that is made with love will taste great, even if it is simple. Mom can not eat tomatoes, so I used curd. This chicken gravy requires very few ingredients all of which are easily available. To enhance the taste I have used freshly ground spices, but I have used my ready to use onion garlic masala, to save time.

I marinated the chicken with all the spices and curd overnight in the refrigerator. If you are running short of time, I would recommend marinating chicken at least for 3 to 4 hours. Marinated Chicken takes less time to cook. and absorbs all the flavours well.

Mother’s Day was extra special as my daughter also loved it. It was rewarding for me to see both my Mom and daughter finishing their portions.
