Notes
The chicken curry is anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral.
We can replace the Chicken with A2 paneer for vegetarian options.
Do not go overboard with adding butter, cream and other ingredients that you may use to thicken the curry. Instead, use sattu flour to thicken the gravy.
