Chicken Curry FAQs

1. Can I use coconut milk instead of yogurt?

Yes! Coconut milk makes the curry creamier and milder.

2. Can I make this curry ahead of time?

Yes, it tastes even better the next day.

3. Which chicken is better — bone-in or boneless?

Bone-in has more flavor; boneless cooks faster.

4. How do I make it spicier?

Add extra green chilies or increase red chili powder.

5. Can I make this curry without tomatoes?

Use more yogurt or a bit of coconut milk as a substitute.
