How and When to Add Curd With Chicken?
If you are adding curd in chicken during cooking on high heat then keep the heat low or medium to avoid the curdling. If you add curd in curry on medium temperature then stir it with a spoon to make a smooth curry then the curd texture will be creamy and smooth. Basically the lactic acid and calcium in yogurt gently break down the protein in the meat, making it flavorful, juicy, and ultra-tender.
Yogurt Tenderize the Chicken?
Yes, yogurt has tenderizing agents that work as catalyst to tender the chicken.
How To Serve?
You can serve this delicious and aromatic chicken ginger with naan bread or kulcha. Even steam rice makes a good combination. If you are having in lunch then try with paratha.
