    Notes :

    • You can also cover with a lid and cook until the chicken is soft instead of pressure cooking.
    • If you want this chicken curry to be more flavorful, marinate the chicken with spice powders (instead of adding them in cooker) for 15 minutes.
    • Chicken leaves out water while cooking and hence adjust water accordingly.
    • Adjust spices & green chilli according to your preference.
    • Chicken with bones are preferable for making this chicken gravy.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
