Chicken:

1. If frozen chicken is used, the amount of liquid given in a recipe should be reduced a little.
2. If chicken is fat, reduce the amount of cooking oil or ghee.
3. To cook an authentic Indian chicken curry, the skin of the chicken should be removed and discarded before cooking. Chicken curry will then be less oily and will keep longer.

Turmeric
The older root, which is dark in colour is preferable.
