Chicken curry & chicken kuruma with leftover mint chutney

It gives us a little happiness to see when there is no leftover. But the fact is, even the leftover can be turned to yet another delicious dishes. I made mint chutney morning & with the left over I made chicken curry for the afternoon & chicken kuruma for the night.
