Some questions about chicken curry

Q. Why my chicken curry recipe is not seeing eye-catching color?

Ans: Some people are used artificial food color for the eye-catching color of chicken curry but I am not in favor of color. I always avoid color in food.

You can use Kashmir chili powder for attractive chicken curry.

Ans: Gravy totally depends on water. If you add more water then gravy becomes thin. So, you first add a little amount of water to chicken curry if required then add more water.
