chicken kulambu/ chicken curry for rice and roti

Simple and easy spicy gravy with chicken. Chicken curry/ kulambu goes well with rice and roti even with idly/dosa. You can use boneless chicken or chicken with bone. And I have marinated chicken its completely optional, either you can use marinated or freshly washed chicken, both tastes awesome.
