I don't know if I was the one that went wrong, but no offense, this was really not worth it. I think the quantities stated were way off also. So much onion that I had no real gravy just onions, and onions with chicken sitting on top. And it was just another salan minus the turmeric and the saffron instead. Sorry to sound so off, just didn't like it at all. -
We enjoyed this for dinner very much thanks Charishma. I took note of the other review, and only used small onions, but found putting a lid on the pot created more than enough sauce/gravy for us to enjoy over rice. I did add a clove of garlic, as I love it and ginger together.
