Notes

  • If you don’t have stock readily available, dissolve a cube of Maggi Super Seasoning in 1/4 cup water.
  • Add 1/2 cup water to the raw chicken mince. This ensures that the mince does not turn into lumps when cooking. 
  • You can add a few tablespoons of store-bought tomato puree for a more vibrant sauce.
