  • Simmer for another 60 minutes, stirring often.
  • Serve immediately over basmati rice and along with Naan bread

Notes

  • Phenomenal meal. So so so good.
  • Thigh meat is nice but it crumbles in this recipe. Stick with breast meat for a long cook. If using thighs, reduce cook time by one hour.
  • You might need a corn starch slurry to thicken it up before serving.
