Mint Leaves Curry Chicken

Curry chicken, in general, is a wonderful creation in itself. Yet, a different adaptation with mint leaves makes it another amazingly savory dish. Be warned: it is dangerously irresistable and spicily appetizing! After the first bite, you'll want more.

I bet a mojito would be a nice pairing :)
