Try it to believe it - the chicken not only tasty but also tender & juicy.

Usually I'll mix it with Belachan condiments but for a change I've created salad out of it.... and the outcome was surprisingly delicious!

INGREDIENTS:
1 Kweini Fruit - peel & cubed
1/2 Cucumber - cubed (throw away the center part) 
1 Tomato - chopped 
1 tsp Garam Masala
1-2 tbsp Vinegar
Salt & Sugar
