Chicken Stew/Chicken In Coconut Milk

Chicken curry or fry is mostly my children's favorite when it comes to side dishes.Today's recipe is a Chicken Stew which can be served with Rotis Appams or any bread item.The combo of pepper powder,green chillies and coconut milk makes it unique.My children like having this curry as a side dish with chappatis or baturas,and my Hubby likes it with Pathiris.
