Easy Country Captain

5 from 1 vote
This Southern Indian Fusion dish has it all. Acidity from the tomatoes, kick from the curry, and sweetness from the raisins. Country Captain certainly is not lacking in the flavor department. Chicken thighs add to the richness of this dish and are budget friendly.
