Critical Success Points

  • Golden browning of onions (step 3) – essential for depth of flavor.
  • Cooking tomato puree until oil separates (step 6) – prevents raw tomato taste.
  • Simmering with coconut milk on low heat (step 8) – ensures tender chicken and prevents curdling.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil with care; splatter can cause burns.
  • Use a sturdy cutting board to avoid knife slips.
