I loved this recipe! It had a little warmth to it, but not too much. I used only 1 Tbsp oil and no Ghee to cut back the fat grams and I didn't miss it. Served it with basmati rice and cauliflower with fresh nutmeg.

This was awesome. I made the recipe exactly as written except used chicken breasts instead of thighs. This is very flavorful and my kids really liked it, not too spicy. I was a little scared adding such large amounts of the spices, but it was great. Thanks for the keeper!

This is a keeper! Even my fussy 8 yr old enjoyed it. I made it with drumsticks and chicken breasts in the crockpot. The aroma ( and taste) was so dee-lish! I love the blend of all the spices. Its different from my usual repertoire, a refreshing change. I served it with brown rice with peas mixed in it.

Absolutely loved this recipe! Had Pakistani food in Washington D.C. wasn't sure how this recipe would compare and it was BETTER than what I was served there. Had friends over for dinner who could not stop talking about how good it was. Served with Naan and it was the best. Thanks!

Excellent recipe! You would expect with all those spices that it would be too strongly flavored, but it really isn't. I added all the spices with the onion at the beginning because I didn't like the raw flavor of them added later. The cilantro, however, as a fresh herb, *must* wait until the end or it disappears. You can make it all ahead except for the cilantro--add that when you reheat it. It tastes great over steamed brown basmati rice. Thanks for a keeper of a recipe, Alia!

Just now enjoying the leftovers of this savory chicken curry. I made this exactly as written, but used chicken breasts (on hand). My husband enjoyed it as well. If you like Mexican food, or Oriental food, you will enjoy this as well.

This was very good. I did not add the cilantro, but it was still great. I mixed chicken breast in with the thighs since they seem less fatty. Also increased the chili powder by 1/2 teaspoon. Could have probably added a bit more. We had this over basmati rice and with naan bread on the side. Excellent!

Thank you and your mother for this recipe. I especially liked the chicken cooked in tomotos and the aroma was fantastic. My boyfriend and I loved it and will definitely be making this again.

The spices are very similar to Indian cooking, but this dish had it's own destinctive taste. I'd never had anything Pakistani. I'm really glad I tried this recipe. I do like things kind of spicy, so I added 1/4t. cayenne like another reviewer. Even more would be okay depending on how hot you like it. Thanks for this wonderful recipe Alia!

I'm always a little nervous when I try different ethic cuisine b/c normally it tastes nothing like what I've had in restaurants and then I'm disappointed. But this recipe IS IT! Spectacular results. My husband is still raving about this one. Thanks Alia! The only thing I did differently was I added a green pepper, chopped, in with the canned tomatoes. Terrific.

Very easy and family loved this. I will probably add potatoes next time and use a crockpot to stretch it. Thanks for the recipe.

I gave this recipe 4 stars because I appreciated all the wonderful flavors of the dish. Unfortunately, it was a bit too exotic for my meat-&-potatoes husband. However, I expect to keep & share the recipe....so thanks Alia!
