Taste-check for salt. Add fried chicken pieces and mix well. Cook covered over low heat for about 10 – 12minutes, stirring occasionaly, till chicken pieces are completely cooked through. Switch off the flame. You can add a few curry leaves and 1 tsp butter for extra taste. It tastes best after 1 – 2 hrs.
