notes
- I have used cashew paste you can use cashew nuts powder also.
- you can use chopped onion in place onion paste just make sure that you have thick and smooth gravy.
- you can use readymade tomato paste or you prepare fresh tomato paste .just remove the skin and seed using strainer before adding to the curry.
- to make onion crispy heat oil properly for deep fry do not add onion in low heat oil.
- For juicy, tender and uniformly cooked chicken pieces cook in moderate to low temperature. high temperature squeeze out the juice and make chicken pieces hard.
- make sure the chicken pieces cut properly from the joint otherwise while cooking meat start loosing from the bones.
