Curry Leaf Chicken Fry

A friend I hadn't met for 30 years called this year and as we renewed our friendship, I invited them to visit. They finally fit in a short visit to our place. I was just starting this blog and as soon as my friend Mary, and her husband Neethi, heard what I was doing, they generously shared their best recipes with me. They are both good cooks but I didn't know how good till I recently tried this recipe they gave me.
Thanks Mary and Neethi...hope the picture looks like the finished dish is meant to look like.
