      Hi Shelly I use either MTR red chilli powder or Aashirwaad as both these powders give good color to the curry.

    Do you need to add tomato or tamarind paste to give tangy flavor to curry? If so, how much, and when to add tomato or tamarind paste? Should I use pressure cooker to cook chicken quickly? Please answer. Thanks.

      Do not add tamarind paste but instead of yogurt, you can add tomato paste...First cook the curry until oil oozes out and then pressure cook it...

      Beat the yogurt well, if you add the yogurt without beating, it surely breaks...the flame should be on low when we add yogurt...
