Hi Ida,
You are welcome dear :)
Cheers

hey thanks alot maria.it was a wonderful dish..do post new ones..cheers
heyy wldnt the ginger chicken come out with gravy????
Hi Anju
You can make the ginger chicken as a dry preparation or with gravy.
I’ve mentioned in the recipe about the gravy. I made it dry, that’s why you don’t see any gravy in the above picture.

@Maria, hi maria..i would like to try this recipe…bt i dont have kashirii red chilly wid me right now.so it okay..if i dont add that??its only for the colour purpose right…adding ordinary red chilly would be a good idea?
Hi Teenu
Its ok to add ordinary chilly powder. As you’ve said Kashmiri chilly powder is added mainly for the color.
Hope you’ll like the recipe…
Cheers
