Tomato Chicken (Ayam Tomato)

There are many ways to cook your chicken. And there are many versions of tomato chicken. Some people call it ayam masak merah and there again, there are many versions to that too. In my previous post, I have given a recipe of ayam masak merah, quite similar to this recipe that I am giving you with the exception of a few ingredients that makes it slightly different in taste and texture. This one is a dry version and is suitable taken with tomato rice or plain rice of your choice. Have a try!
