A few quick tips to make your recipe a hit:
- By cooking chicken prior, it will save you time
- Garam Masala is essential if you do not have cardamoms, cumin, or other aromatic spices.
- Do not add water, as tomatoes and chicken will create enough pressure
- Turn off the flame just before adding cream, so your sauce does not become thin.
- Cut down on calories by using evaporated milk instead of heavy cream.
