mutton/chicken curry

This is how i prepare and cook my chicken or mutton curry.You can substitute or use beef instead of mutton or chicken i have tried it many times and it still delicious, I don't measure my ingredients because i'm not use to it, i just use my common sense and according to my taste. I use less chili powder 'coz i dont want it to be so hot.

ginger/garlic paste
onions

turmeric powder
coriander leaves (chopped)
salt and fish sauce

Methods of cooking:
