Green herb chicken curry

I think this is the quickest chicken recipes I ever made.I am in a lot of hurry in the morning when I have to leave for college,pack my child’s tiffin and also prepare something for the lunch .Sometimes I get up late and I hardly have 30 minutes in hand to do all of these and if I have not taken out the meat or fish from the freezer for thawing early, then a big mess,I lose time .So today was such a day when everything went wrong..So I decided to make this green chicken with the herbs with the ingredients I had in hand and the results were great,within 20 minutes my curry was ready and tasty too…
