Chicken stew

This recipe is a very easy chicken recipe. Though u may substitute chicken with potatoes and peas, cauliflower or egg.Instead of traditional coconut milk i have used cream.Thats cos i did not have coconut milk at hand and was lazy to obtain it the traditional way.But believe me the curry came out yummy.....
