This morning went to market to get some stuffs for cooking. Bought 2 chicken as I'm intending to cook curry this weekend! I divided some portion of the chicken for this braised dish and quickly down to action while my girl is having her morning nap :D In an about 1/2 hour time, a sweet & spicy braised chicken is ready to be served! Can't help and slurp down a few tbsp of the favourful gravy!
