Key Tips To Make Perfect Curry

• To make perfect curry, make sure to blend all the spices in curry using a spoon.
• Carefully monitor the addition of water to avoid water curry texture.
• Always cook meat at high temperatures to avoid the smell of meat rawness.
• Maintain the recommended temperature on each step of cooking.
• Don't overcook the curry.
• Never use any kind of corn starch, ready-made tomato puree, or flavored yogurt.
• Chicken pieces always matter in curry. It's not advisable to use chicken pieces with skin while making chicken curry, especially in Pakistani and Indian cooking.
• I personally use homemade garam masala to create the best taste.
