- I happened to have a bag of chicken thighs in the freezer, so wanted to use what I had on hand. I cut most of the meat from the thighs, leaving some on the bone & cut the meat into chunks. I used the meaty bones in the recipe also. I used enough to make the 1 kg. shopping list
- I did not have fresh ginger on hand so I used 1 tsp ginger paste instead & mixed it into the sauce ingredients. shopping list
- I had found a jar of the ginger paste in the ethnic section at Super Store previously. I find it very handy. For me the 1 tsp was more than enough for the ginger flavor. shopping list
