Notes

I have used chicken Thighs in this recipe, incase you are using chicken breast, which cooks faster than thighs, keep a watch as over cooking may turn it chewy.

Alternatives / Vegan / vegetarian Versions

Replace Chicken, with chickpeas, Green Peas, Cauliflower or Tofu Meat. Check out how to make tofu meat in this recipe.

If you want to try non dairy version, replace fresh cream with cashew milk ) Soak 7-8 cashews in water for 10 minutes and blend it to milk. You can also use Coconut milk in the place of dairy.

For adult version, puree 2-3 green chillies along with the onions and follow the recipe.
