Note

Tips: For extra flavour, marinate chicken for up to 4 hours. Confirm chicken pieces are similar in size for even cooking. If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or chicken stock. For a more authentic taste, toast and grind your own spices. Leftover sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months. Always bring cream to room temperature before adding to prevent curdling.
