    Notes

    • Cook chicken on high heat to seize the pores. This step will make the chicken soft, tender and juicy. 
    • If you don't have dry ginger (Zingiber Officinalis) then use fresh chicken. Dry ginger is dehydrated so create a specific flavor in chicken curry. 
    • Peel tomato skin before adding in curry as it will make smooth curry. 
    • Before dishing out make sure to cook the chicken on high heat until it shows oil on the sides.
