I forgot to take a photo but here are a few things I did slightly differently from recipe that worked for me. 1) I took out the chicken so that I could cook the masala because my pan was not big enough for 10 drumsticks 2) I added a tiny amount of water while cooking the masala because it was sticking to my pan. because I added this water it helped me better coat the drumsticks 3) because I used water and for a better coat I let the chicken simmer a further few mins on really low heat and covered it up on both sides. spicy but delicious recipe and this is going into my to do in the future
