Notes

NOTES:
✔️ While cooking chicken in tomato puree, lots of water will be released from the chicken as a result of which there will be lots of gravy. Remember to reduce the gravy till it thickens.
✔️ The red color in the chicken is achieved from the red food color thatis added. You can omit it but it won’t look very nice. But taste will be great.
