Recipe Tip
To get the right curry base, it is important that you start preparing the curry in the right order. The order is as follows: Heating the oil, cooking the onion and ginger-garlic paste until golden brown and then adding tomato puree and other powdered spices. This makes a good base before you add the chicken pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if there is excess salt in the curry than needed?
If there is excess salt in the curry then do not add more water to balance the taste. Adding more water might change the consistency of your curry. Instead, take a raw potato, peel it and add it into the curry. Let it cook for a few minutes. The potato may soak the excess amount of salt from the curry.
What chicken pieces should I use to prepare Chicken Curry?
A combination of boneless as well as bone-in chicken pieces is ideal for a chicken curry. The boneless pieces make for easy eating once cooked and the bone-in pieces add a flavour to the curry with the juices from the bones.
