Chicken curry

My husband and son both likes to have chicken.The following recipe is my own way of making chicken curry and easy to make, tastes good.In this recipe I used Kulambhu powder which enhances the flavor and taste and  I used the chicken legs.The amount of spice powder given for this curry is for a bit spicier version,since we like the chicken curry to be spicy.
