• Put the Heavy Cream (I used half cup), mix and add the chicken pieces
  
• Simmer for 10-15 mins (If not using pre-cooked rice, I suggest that you prepare the rice at this time)

Enjoy :)

P.s:

• For those who enjoy it a bit more spicy, you can always add some more chilli powder or cayenne pepper
  
• For the cinnamon, I used cinnamon powder but you can also use 1 Cinnamon Stick instead
  
• I used Tomato Puree, but you can use either normal tomato sauce or even ready made tomato sauce
  
• With regards to Heavy Cream I used half the Emlea Double cream (Image Below) which is approximately the size of a small cup. You can always add more for a creamier taste :)
