Chicken Curry

I have been searching for a delicious and simple to make chicken curry. That is not too oily, too spicy, too thin or too thick. I remember eating chicken curry at a friend's house and her chicken curry was delicious and she said she did not even used coconut milk! My mom made delicious chicken curry too but when I cooked, the chicken curry it was never the same.. I do not know where I go wrong. haha.. I also tried those ready made chicken curry in packets, they tasted funny and too spicy (will not named the brand). It  is healthier to use chicken without the skin  for chicken curry. I never like the chicken skin in my curry except for fried chicken, I liked the skin.. haha.. :)
