MY TIPS: •Add coriander leaves in the last. •In case if you don't have chicken masala, you can prefer coriander powder nd garam masala. •Don't stir the potatoes too much, in order to avoid mushiness in the potatoes.

My mom and dad loved it and gave 11/10. but when I cooked, the 20 mins part for the potatoes to cook was troublesome because even though I checked in between, it kept on adi pudithufying better use half boiled potatoes in to make it quicker. also, instead of chicken masala i added garam masala and pepper. turned out to be so good, will try it again 💯 ps: I wish I could share the pic, but probably an app bug, so I can't attach the pic. kindly look into it cookd team🙏🏻
