This dish is meant to be dry without much gravy served. A portion of my dry chicken curry counts about 190 – 220kcal depending on which part of chicken meat, with or without skin, intake you have.
Tips: Amount of curry powder and chili powder is adjustable to your tolerance of spiciness.
* Chili powder is sold in packets and available off the shelve. Check out the dry goods cell where you can find the curry powder, too.
* Curry powder, I preferred Baba brand in this case. Just purely dry curry powder, available in major supermarkets and neighborhood provision shops. Usually priced at S$1.50 – $2 per packet.
* If wetter dish is preferred, add slightly more water into your cooking.
