Superb recipe
I have one question, after straining what can we do of remaining chicken and vegetables?
Thanks Anita. All the goodness are in the soup. You can take it without straining if you like. Or mix remaining chicken and vegetables in any other curry. Or you can shallow fry with some butter and add herbs of your choice 😊 😊
