Notes
1. I preferred to use the chicken with bones for this recipe. If you don't like bones, use boneless chicken. 2. I used instantly made ginger and garlic paste. If it is hard for you, use the bottled one. 3. I extract coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut, use the coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk. 4. If you don't like spicy, reduce the amount of dried red chili according to your taste.
