Coconut Chicken Curry

Furthermore, I would like to give some of my suggestions for making tasty coconut chicken curry. Firstly, grind the grated coconut and cashews with enough water until you get a thick and smooth paste. This is very very important to this recipe. Because this smooth coconut paste and tomato puree will give a nice texture and color to this recipe. Finally, if the gravy is thick, then add some water and adjust the salt and spice as needed.
