amazing!!! Changes I made (suggest) -fresh garlic (3 cloves) - 1/2 to 1tsp smoked paprika -use thighs not breast Best Way To cook: -cook over highest heat setting on bbq just to char each side -then cook using indirect heat for about 30+ minutes... closest thing to a tandoor oven taste! ENJOY this great recipe.

Yum! Made this using skinless boneless chicken breasts tonight on the George Foreman and it turned out wonderful. I used fresh garlic and ginger, 2 thai bird chiles instead and no turmeric because I didn't have any. I also didn't need to oil the grill, which made this recipe even healthier. Thanks for the recipe!

This was absolutely fantastic! I let the chicken marinate for 5 hours and it still came out very flavourful and tasty. I did not find it spicy, but am sure that the heat will increase the longer you let it marinate. I added a bit of salt on top of the chicken just before placing in oven (saw review that recommended more salt) and I am glad I did. I used chicken legs. It will definitely not be the last time I make this; served it with Recipe #386629, Recipe #386629 and Recipe #397595 - we had an Indian feast!

Sue: Great healthy, family-friendly recipe! I marinated for 24 hours, then grilled the boneless thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side. I had to substitute cardamom for the coriander (didn't have any); and I added fresh garlic and ginger instead of powdered. Also added garlic salt and 2 tbsp. madras (hot) curry powder (I doubled the recipe). This is saved in my cookbook and it will be used often! I think it would make fabulous kabobs....
