Notes
- Panko breadcrumbs - Panko is a Japanese breadcrumb made from white bread, which creates an airy, crispy texture coating. You can buy it in most Japanese/Oriental grocery stores or supermarket Asian aisle.
- Curry Powder - Curry powder is a mixture of turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, black pepper, cardamom, clove, nutmeg, chilli powder, etc. Milder in flavour than garam masala. You can find it most supermarkets and also available in mild, medium, or hot curry powders.
- Chicken Stock - You can add homemade chicken stock, store-bought one, or vegetable stock. Chicken stock brings more umami flavour to the dish. If you cannot get easily, you can simply add water.
