  1. Wow! Even though the ingredients are all similar and familiar, adding cumin powder in the oil is new and guess the process makes it a different dish. I am pinning this for later.. We are never satisfied with just one chicken curry right? :-P
    1. Absolutely right Famida. Juggling the ingredients here and there definitely makes a difference in the recipe. Hope u enjoy making it
  2. I love that oil floating on top of the curry... and what lovely color! It was the same here too, HD used to cook and I used be his helper during the earlier days... hehe...
