Notes :

    Don't pour more water in coconut milk extraction. 

    For Ginger Garlic paste both should used same quantity. You can even add turmeric powder for a favor.   

    After adding coconut milk the spice level will be lowered so check taste before adding. If you want more spicy then add Chicken Masala more and leave to boil for 3 min in medium flame. 

    In step 7 stir continuously to avoid charring. 

   Use only small onion don't use big onion.
