Curry Leaves Chicken Masala

This is my most favorite chicken curry recipe, which is from Andhra cuisine.  I learned this recipe from my favorite youtube channel “rasoi smart”. I slightly modified this recipe to make it more flavourful. This chicken curry is extremely delicious and goes well with roti or rice.
