Ingredients:            

• 1 whole chicken – washed and cut up into small pieces

• 1 cup of corn oil
• ¼ cup of water
• ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder

  • 1 ¼ cup of water for curry sauce

Cooking Instructions:

• 1. Slice the onion.

  4. Add chicken to the frying pan. Fry for about 2-5 minutes until it turns a whitish color.
  5. Add the blended onions and garlic cloves first.
  6. Add the following: turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and salt.
  7. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes to avoid burning spices. Stir occasionally.
