  1. The spice mixture in this is wonderful! The cloves really add a nice touch. Very easy and quick to make. I did serve over rice, and added a side of sauted zucchini. Very flavorful, I will make this again!
     
  2. Wonderfully aromatic, the blend of spices truly complimented the chicken. I served this over steamed basmati rice, and garnished with extra chopped cilantro. The level of heat was right on too...not too spicy, or too mild. Adding the garam masala and cilantro after cooking really intesified their flavor. Fabulous recipe! We loved it!
     
  3. This is a very good recipe and quite easy to make. Just spicy enough to please my better half, although I'm not big on spicy. Loved it with rice but think it would be great on pasta too.
     
  4. VERY good! Loved this with chapatis. Mmmm. Thanks for sharing!
