My mom's chicken curry-Simple chicken curry

I don't know this chicken curry belongs to which part of kerala.From my child hood to college days I have seen only this chicken curry.My mom knows only this recipe.She got a strong belief that if we dint add water, chicken wont be cooked.In college days if I am trying some recipes by watching some cookery shows she used to tell some bad comments,its sweet...She doesnt like any restaurant dishes.For her this chicken curry is best.

After a long time I am trying this recipe now.My hubby liked this since he is not fed up with this recipe like me.
