I can't remember when was the last time I cooked Masala. 😛 Maybe it's just time to cook again with your recipe. It looks so tempting! Guess, it's just okay if I add more turmeric/curcumin powder, isn't it?
Hi Sweety, Thanks for your comments and don't add more turmeric powder because it will change the taste and color of the chicken and even you wont get original flavor of curry.
Hi Arthy, Fresh one works best than dried leaves. Dried one gives flavor but not taste like fresh leaves..
looks yummy .....will give it a try 🙂
Delicious and inviting dear .
