This is a great recipe. My husband loves it and he is a real picky eater. What I did was instead of drumsticks I used all pieces of the chicken. I didn't have soya sauce around so I used about 6 drops of Worchesire Sace instead. I added onions in the begining and added the curry leaves with that and fried until onions were golden brown, then I added the chicken in with the marinade. I did not add ketchup at all. I added a few jalapeno peppers sliced, and some crushed red pepper flakes. In the end I did not fry the chicken, but you could do that in the beginning without marinade and then add marinade to make it easy. I also added a juice of one lime and garnished with thinly sliced onions and cilantro! Thanks! Love the recipe

I have made this recipe twice and received loads of compliments both times. However I feel that it was more delicious when I used chicken thighs chopped in half, rather than boneless breast. The only addition I made was to add some tandoori color to the gravy the way it is made here in Dubai, more ketchup and juice of 1/2 a lemon. This is a recipe that will be with me forever. Thanks Fay. Best wishes, C. Almeida
