« on: February 21, 2009, 12:29 PM »

Make the sauce before you add the pre cooked chicken (just simmer it for around 5 minutes and check it's cooked). This way you can taste the sauce without consuming meat, and judge what needs to be added. If it's bland and not hot enough, I would suggest adding salt and chili powder and/or finely chopped fresh chilies.

Good luck,

BB.

Make your own chilli powder by grinding dried red chillies (preferably Birds Eye). You can get these from most super markets.
