Lower the heat and add the rest of the marinade.
Add + cup of water, cover and cook on low heat until the chicken turns tender.
Add cream and chopped cilantro.
Continue frying this until chicken is dry and well coated. Serve hot.
Depending on the kind of chicken, the cooking time can vary.
You can omit water in step 5 altogether if the kind of chicken you have, cooks easily.
Using thigh and drumstick will not make the meat hard when overcooked.
