Notes
Boneless chicken can be also used for this recipe. Reduce or halve the weight of chicken if using boneless. Rest of the ingredients remain the same. Reduce the cooking time of chicken. The amount of green and red chillies can be increased or decreased as desired. Keep some amount of hot water ready if more gravy is desired. Serve hot with: Cumin Rice (Jeera Chawal), steamed rice or Indian bread (Roti).
