  • 500 grams Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk (can substitute with normal milk)
  • 3 clove Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 piece Holland Onion (brunoise - fine diced)
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 10 pieces Curry Leaves

Fried Chicken

Notes

  2. You want to be even quicker, you can even use those ready to eat fried chicken that you have to only heat up in the air fryer.
