Coriander and Green Chili Chicken Curry

I know it’s not pretty, but this is an EPIC authentic curry. If you are looking to cook a curry this weekend, then take a look at this and definitely Save. It is fresh, vibrant, earthy and not too tricky. You can make it ahead and reheat it if entertaining. Or just make the space paste in advance. Just make sure you allow time for the chicken to marinade, the yogurt works miracles at tenderizing and getting flavor into the meat.
