Rainy season is almost here and what could be so tempting than a bowl of hot steamed rice with a delicious chicken curry poured over!!! You know,what I love about Indian food, is that, it has a whole lot of spice-drama! A single prominent flavor of any spice changes the taste of the food magically, and in this recipe, combination of fennel seeds and coriander seeds did that! So start playing with spices and cook the natural way!!! Hope you like it!!!
