I shr does the chicken and added salt and more Garam Masala then stirred it back into the sauce. Served over basmati
Melissa Jones
Very flavorful, healthy, and quick weeknight dinner. I added a bit more garam masala and red pepper flake. The flavor was really complex and tasty. Adding the yogurt on top is a must. I served with quinoa and a salad with feta. I will definitely keep in my file.
Dylan Lindsey
Really tasty and easy. Substituted the garam masala with cinnamon and it tasted great. Highly recommend.
Ann Chen
Quick, filling, and delicious.
Charlene Holt
It was easy to make and would make an easy weeknight dinner. However, there was nothing spectacular about it. … maybe I should have used more garam marsala to give it more flavor.
Sara Acosta
I thought this recipe was great, especially for a weeknight dinner. It took very little time to throw in the pan which was great. Its also really filling. I think next time I make it, I’ll add a bit more garam masala and red pepper flakes but overall a definite winner. Oh and put the dab of greek yogurt on – yum! Would be great with couscous and steamed asparagus.
