Exotic Chicken Curry - Recipe

Exotic Chicken Curry, does this sound interesting??? The word Exotic! Haha.... When it comes to the word Exotic, it reminds me of the last quarter's MATTA fair whereby I was so keen to visit the EXOTIC countries booth. The booth seemed to be interesting, riding camels in EGYPT which you don't dream to get in Malaysia. But, just afraid that you won't see me anymore after the trip there. Hopefully u get what I mean.. hehe.

Well, this recipe is pretty simple. Guess everyone can just cook this dish! Btw, I always look for easy and simple recipes!! Don't have to purposely make a headache just for food. It's enough to have headache outside, but not at home. So, build a happy family yea everyone!!
