Reviewed for ZWT8 visit to India. I used chicken breast fillets cut into smaller, thinner pieces in place of the thight, but otherwise stuck to the recipe as written. This was an easy and very tasty Indian chicken dish.Seemed like a long list of ingredients but came together very easily. I added the bay leaves with the cardamon pods (not stated in the instructions) Great recipe that I would happily make again. Photo also to be posted
