Greenchilli chicken

Greenchilli chicken is cooked as regular chicken (chicken cooked using chill powder) but in this recipe instead of chill powder we are using greenchillies paste. Even though there is a very little variation between regular chicken (chicken cooked using chill powder) and this curry, coming to taste of this curry there is a lot of variation between chicken cooked using chill powder and this dish. This curry tastes awesome, and you will love this recipe.
