Can we use soya sauce for it as an alternative?

Hi MSV,
Worcestershire sauce is soy sauce with vinegar and some other seasonings. If you want to use soy sauce, you can add just a bit of vinegar to it and it will be close.

Hi Anuja & Hetal, I just now saw ur recipe for Lucky Chicken 13. This looks similar to the Pepper Chicken recipe, but in that Cilantro is not added for grinding. Anyway, I will try this recipe this week end.

And the flavor of the cilantro was great bec i love them. i tried ur “Spicy Scandal Chicken Curry – Indian recipes” as we had guest’s at home, and shd have seen their expression on their faces.
