Notes

u003cliu003eTake your time to mix chicken with yogurt, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. It makes the chicken soft.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eWhen you add dosakaya, be careful with the time. Dosakaya is soft, and too much cooking can make it mushy. Cook it just enough to keep it fresh and a bit crunchy.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eMake the curry just right for you! If you want it less spicy, use fewer green chilies and red chili powder. Adjust it so your Dosakaya Chicken Curry is perfect for your taste.u003c/liu003e
