Make your nonvegetarian dish healthier by using boneless chicken, preferably chicken breast which is higher in proteins. You can also use chicken thigh as per your liking. It is an easy to make dish and goes best with roti and even with rice and dal. I have kept the spice quotient low but you can add as much as your threshold is.
