Very good introduction to Indian cooking since, while this recipe is spicy, it is not hot. I didn't really understand the directions so I did it like this: combined ginger, garlic, chili powder, salt , balsamic vinegar and marinated chicken 10 minutes. Then I added yogurt (had to look that up!), ground cloves, ground cinnamon, masala paste (mine is from the Bombay region) and marinated the chicken an additional 20 minutes or half hour. I wanted to grill them to cook quickly but I failed to pat the chicken dry, so they cooked in a little marinade, then I added the rest and heated it through. I served it over rice and really enjoyed my meal. Thanks for posting.
