Yes, i am aware of ayran has nothing to do with India, thats the ingredient i had at home though and just used it (successfully) for that curry. normally yoghurt or coconut cream is used 🙂
Improve the recipe:
Prepare the chickenfilet one day before, put it raw in a bowl, mix it with 50ml Yoghurt and the chopped ginger and garlic, store it in the fridge. The aroma of garlic and ginger will be even better on the chicken.
