Chicken curry with coriander

This is a very simple chicken curry with fresh chopped coriander leaves as garnish.Here I prefer chicken with bones.This chicken curry requires no marination.This can be eaten with rice,roti and can be eaten regularly as it is the most simple curry recipe.Here I have used mustard oil but you can cook with white oil or any other oil of your preference.You can make it dry or semi thick gravy.If you want to use potatoes you can use.
