This was a good recipe but I had to add alot more garam masala (I lost track of how much I added. Maybe ~3-4 tsp) as other reviewers suggested to get the flavor I like. I also added 1 tsp coriander and used heavy cream instead of half and half. I found that a little (1/2 tsp) of sugar helped cut down on the tomato-ey flavor of the sauce. My husband and 3 kids (5, 3, &1.5 yo) loved it. It is a great starting recipe and with a few changes was a hit with our family.

This is the first Indian style dish I've made. I used grouind almonds to thicken instead of corn starch on the advice of others, it added a nice flavor and texture, just be careful how much you use. I also added quite a bit more garam masala and used rotell tomatoes w/ chiles (pureed in processor) for an extra kick. My husband ate most of it before it was done (no lie). Thanks

I made this dish and had to doctor it a bit. I used minced fresh garlic and ginger and doubled it. Then I also doubled the spices and added a tsp of coriander. I also added about triple the cayenne and didn't use corn starch. I used heavy cream and the consistency was perfect-didn't need the ground cashews at all that other people had used. I used quite a bit of salt to season it as well as adding garlic powder and ginger powder to taste once the initial sauce was ready. Overall, it tasted great over basmati rice, will definitely try it again.

This was a lovely recipe. I added cashews instead of corn starch, added a teaspoon of coriander and doubled the spices. It came out delicious! Would make again. Thanks!

I've made this several times. Being the "queen of vacuum sealing" I can say without qualification that this recipe freezes beautifully in individual portions. I always double the recipe and freeze several meals' worth. I've tweaked it a bit, I add a few squirts of Agave nectar and I found that Chipotle Powder is the perfect chili flavor because it adds a hint of smoke. I replace half the butter with Coconut Oil (a much friendlier fat than popular belief). I also pressure-cook the chicken in broth with a splash of liquid smoke (that's a secret for vacuum sealing ... keeps the meat really tender when re-heating ... which MUST be done in the oven ... never EVER microwave); and I use 1/2 Breast meat and the other half thigh meat. I've memorized this recipe and will be cooking it for years to come!

Really delicious. Served with brown rice and a nice cucumber salad, this was such a wonderful balance of sweet,salty,spicy and tart. I added about a tsp. of coriander. Used tomato sauce. Roasted some sweet potato along side. What a treat! Thanks for your contribution!

Thia was an absolute hit at dinner yesterday! I will have to tell you I made a few changes because of what I had available to me and what other users changed. To start, I used one big yellow onion instead of the white onion & shallot combo. I used 3 Tbs of butter, 2 1/2 ts. lemon juice, 3 Tbs of freshly grated ginger plus pre-chopped garlic to make up the paste. I also used a lot more of Garam Masala....maybe 4-5 ts. to suite taste and 1 ts. ground coriander. I used 1/4 c. heavy cream instead of half & half and if I had fenugreek I would have put it in also as noted by another user. I marinated the chicken with sherry for an hour and when cooking it, I let it cook so that I it browned enough to give the chicken a slight grilled flavor. I also did not need to add the water & cornstarch because the sauce came out to my desired thickness without it. I will note that had I had ground cashews as noted by another user, I would have put some in the recipe. All in all, my mouth was bursting with flavor! It was my best dish yet when it comes to flavor. Definitely restaurant potential. Thanks!

This was incredible!! The only change I made was using finely chopped cashews to thicken the sauce instead of cornstarch. It was my first time attempting Indian food and it turned out fabulous!

De-lish. I substituted the chicken thighs with chicken breasts and used skim milk instead of half and half. Came out just as good!

Delicious, especially the next day or even after a few hours sitting. The third time I made this I used Paneer (Indian) cheese, frying it first before adding. Just as good as with chicken!

Man, talk about pairing ease of prep and great taste - a great after work recipe! I used chicken breasts, and then followed the recipe exactly. Really wonderful taste. If anything, I might double the spices next time around. Thanks for a great receipe.

This is a pretty good recipe. I have already made about 3 times and each time my husband raves about it. The only thing I do different from the recipe is that I add about 1 tsp coriander powder with all the other spices and at the end I just let the chicken cook in the sauce and the sauce thickens while the chicken pieces cook, so I don't add any cornstarch. Taste really good with naan bread, which I buy. This is one that is a keeper.

4.5 actually. It is was absolutely delicious. The only thing differently would to add some chilies. It was a bit mild. But, we loved the meal. Served with cube boiled potatoes. I wanted curry potatoes, but I thought it would clash with taste. So, we served only with potatoes.
