Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oil.
  • If you want a spicier curry, add more curry powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • If you don't have coconut milk, you can use regular milk or water instead. However, coconut milk will give the curry a richer flavor.
  • Serve the curry with rice, noodles, or roti.
  • Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro, green onions, or chopped peanuts for extra flavor and color.
