Veg Chicken Curry

Vegetables are very essential for our body and should be consumed everyday. But some people have a great love for chicken and other non-vegetarian dishes. Also it has become increasingly difficult to make children take vegetables. So I tried a recipe that compromises the two. The result was a vegetable chicken curry. This worked for me, as I succeeded in making my kids eat vegetables with this dish.
