Looks yummy!!! The colour of the curry looks so good.
can u plse tell the chicken amount in measurments...I am notsure how much to use...thnks
Anonymous : Use a medium size chicken.
Point to note, dont add tomatoes to curry before adding chicken breast pieces, It will make chicken very tuff and rubbery. Reason being the acid that tomatoed give out react with the chicken. Add tomatoes in the very end when u simmer.
