WOW, truly the best, hospital food I have ever tasted!

Archivist's note: This recipe is an easy version of thekinds of chicken dishes served in the Jewish community of Cochin, India. The use of commercially prepared curry powder is the bow to convenience. The original recipe would have called for spices blended to create a personal signature
curry powder. Also, the Cochin original would have contained green chilis and cayenne powder.
