Smart Cooking Tips:
1. Add more garlic compared to other spices and herbs. Garlic gives a nice aroma and flavor to the chicken.
2. Add little amount of water for grinding the coconut and green chilies mixture. Because chicken by itself oozes water when cooking, chicken chops gravy should be in a thick gravy consistency. Also, if you add more water for grinding, the coconut will remain as it is without grinding to a smooth paste.
3. Chicken chops is not a dry chicken recipe; it should be in a gravy consistency. So avoid cooking chicken chops until it becomes completely dry.
4. If you are using frozen shredded coconut make sure to thaw it before grinding to make a smooth paste.
