Notes:

• Whenever you buy chicken, clean the chicken and wash it for two to three times. Then marinate chicken in 1 tbsp salt and 1/2 tbsp turmeric. When you marinate chicken, then whatever recipe you prepare, chicken pieces will be juicy, soft and tender after cooking. Otherwise they may not be soft.
• When adding water in chicken curry, don't add too much water because when you open the cooker lid after cooking, you may not have thick gravy.
• If there is more watery texture in your chicken curry, then remove chicken pieces to another bowl and cook this gravy until it's thicken. Because already the chicken pieces are well cooked.If you cook entire chicken curry again, the chicken pieces will be broken into small pieces.
