Notes

  • I didn't add turmeric powder to this recipe. Adding turmeric powder or any other spice will totally change the taste, flavor, and appearance.
  • Boneless chicken is the best option to use in this recipe.
  • Only Cilantro leaves were used in this recipe. Remove the stem part before adding them.
  • Adjust the lemon juice based on the level of sourness you prefer.
  • Overcooking may cause the dish to dry out.
