This recipe requires a little extra prep time to marinade which is essential in developing those rich, full-bodied flavours we all love. Make this your go-to meal. Plan ahead and you'll have a hearty weeknight dinner!
Let's start with the marinade. We love the tenderizing results when the chicken is well marinated overnight or at least for 3 hours. Yoghurt is also added to give this dish a creamy tang.

Marinating the chicken is essential in developing those rich, full-bodied flavours we all love
For this recipe, we're using Kee Song Lacto Chicken. We've tried using Kee Song chicken in various recipes and it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or veteran home cook, the chicken would be tender and juicy! It is also healthy and quick-cooking.

We recommend using organic chicken as it is healthy, nutritious and quick to cook!
Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok or large cooking pan. Add in onion and ginger, stir fry till fragrant. Next, add in the marinated chicken and cook. Pour in water and bring it to a boil. Lower the fire and let it simmer for 10mins till the chicken is tender and gravy thickens. Add in the desired amount of salt and sugar to enhance the flavours.

Simmer till the chicken is tender and gravy thickens
Top it off with coriander leaves and serve with naan, chapati or rice! We love to slather a generous amount of gravy with naan and have it with the delicious chunks of juicy chicken!
