Add turmeric, salt, lemon juice and ground green chillies. Once chicken is nearly cooked add cream and remaining milk. Turn heat lower and add the milk-cornflour mix. Add pinch of egg yellow colouring or powder. Stir till sauce thickens ( if too thick, add extra milk and cream. )Serve hot with rice or Naan.
