Chicken in green spicy curry

On a day when i was bored of making anything for dinner, I remembered my mom's green chicken but i have altered it to make a thick gravy she makes it a dry dish.Both are equally good!

I know it doesn't look green, my habit- i added turmeric and so the mild green tinge was lost.This was a refreshingly delicious dish mildly spiced and accompanies well with chapatis and indian breads.
