Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe comes from East Africa, where I was born and raised. I have not gone back home for the past 30 years, but this is one dish that brings back so many memories, I remember mom grilling the chicken and making the curry and we would all sit and enjoy this with our very big family and close friends. We enjoyed this dish with homemade tandoori rotis or rice..... My kids enjoy this dish as well, as it has a barbeque flavor in it!

1 tsp veg or canola oil to pour on the coal to make it smoke

Sprinkle the turmeric in there as well as 1/2 tsp of salt, next add the coconut milk and whipping cream, stir this mixture well, this would be a good time to put the charcoal on the stove so it's fully lighted by the time your curry is ready and the chicken is cooked completely . Check on the chicken if the chicken is cooked through turn the broiler on and broil the chicken and add it to the coconut curry then put the charcoal on the foil and add oil and cover the sauce pan, depending on how strong you want the barbecue flavor to be will determine on how long you leave the charcoal in the curry.
