    Thank you both, for all your videos! I only knew very limited how to cook.
    After I moved on my own, I always missed my moms cooking. The first dish I
    learned how to make was your Chutney and chicken curry. You two make a
    great team and I look forward in all you future videos!

    Does it have to be boneless chicken thighs? Or can it be just normal
    boneless chicken breasts.

    I like your frying in less oil trick instead of deep frying. Though I enjoy
    Indo Chinese style I stayed away from preparing certain dishes which
    involve deep frying. Thanks to you ladies now I can venture into it. Just
    the kind of recipe I was looking for. Thanks again.
