This was a nice dish. I ended up grilling mine on our foreman since its still too cold out here, but it turned out wonderfully juicy and flavorful. It tastes "spicy" as most indian dishes do, but also very complex. You can taste hints of all the different spices rather than one standing out too much. I marinated ours most of the day. It comes out a lovely yellowish color that is sure to brighten any plate!
