Zelna’s chicken curry cooking in a pot

Thanks so much to Zelna for sharing her recipe for her delicious chicken curry. It looks absolutely amazing.

Readers must note her technique of building up a gravy by slowly adding water when the spices start to get dry. This ensures that the masala is properly cooked through.
