Notes
1) Instead of onion, you can also use the white part of spring onions. And use green part of spring onion for garnishing. 2) Instead of chilli tomato sauce, you can also use a mix of tomato ketchup and a chilli sauce. 3) You can use chicken with bones. Once the chicken is cooked, mince the chicken, separate from the bones and use it for sauteeing with the veggies.
