Easy microwave chicken curry|| Bachelor’s chicken curry|| Easy and quick

Sunday and Chicken curry with steamed rice is Bengalis emotion.

And it is very common that each Bengali house smells of “Kosha mangsho” (piping hot chicken curry) on a Sunday afternoon.

This microwave chicken curry has a emotion and history with me. This is that chicken curry which I used to cook when I first came to America and stayed in a hotel with no kitchen but just microwave.
