Kozhi curry/ Chicken in roasted onion gravy (Serves 4)

Hey all, Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We didn’t prepare any Turkey but made this yummy chicken curry and enjoyed with some Naans. This is one easy curry which will make you say “wow” when you dig into it. On another note, I am leaving for India for a 2 month vacation and hence there will be fewer posts here. I will make sure that I have some yummy dishes from my mom, MIL and aunts kitchens for you all to enjoy during my stay there .
