  • This curry has a semi-thick gravy. Serve hot with plain rice/pulav/roti/appam

Notes

  • You can use any refined oil for this dish but honestly coconut oil enhances the flavor and lifts the dish to a whole new level. So it’s totally your call!
  • If you want to avoid excess oil usage, you can skip shallow frying the chicken.
  • Directly proceed to cooking the marinated chicken pieces in a non-stick pan with very little oil and then adding this into the prepared tomato and onion masala with coconut milk.
