Simmer to Perfection
Finish and Garnish
Add 1/2 cup of green peas (fresh or frozen) along with the water in Step 4 and simmer until the peas are tender.
Substitute chicken mince with mutton (goat) mince. Increase the simmering time in Step 4 to 30-40 minutes, or until the mutton is tender. You may need to add a little more water.
For a richer, restaurant-style finish, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream or cashew paste at the very end, after adding the garam masala.
Increase the amount of green chilies and red chili powder, or add a pinch of black pepper powder along with the garam masala.
