Tips

  • Don't touch the chicken when it's first added; let it fry with the onion for at least 5 minutes.
  • Turmeric and black pepper are best friends, always use them together.
  • For extra flavor, cook on low heat for more than one hour.
  • Transfer to convection broil on 450F for 5-7 minutes to get a nice golden color.
