Wow. For the first time in I don't know how long, everyone in the family (including my 8 year old son -- who doesn't usually like anything made with lots of spices went back for seconds. I added some onions, left out the serrano peppers and used whole milk instead of heavy cream. This was delicious. Thank you Aarti for this delicious recipe!

Having never made one of Aarti's dishes yet, I was anxious to give this a try. It was excellent!! From the aromas that filled the room as the meal was cooking to the wonderful taste at completion, this dish was a hit with my family. My sons both wandered into the kitchen to see what smelled so good! My husband said it was a five star without doubt. The grilled chicken was worth that extra step as it gave a nice crunch. This isn't a meal you can throw together quickly, you need the 1 1/2 the recipe listed. I served basmati rice, stir fried veggies and garlic naan. This became a favorite from first bite !

Rich and Delicious. Definitely providing an Indian fix. The flavor of the chicken thighs complimented the sauce better than I think chicken breast would. I just stabbed the thigh meat with the point of a knife. That was easier than using a fork. My sauce had a bite, that was soothed with the addition of 1 tsp sugar to an entire pot of sauce. I substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream. Wondered if you could substitute yoghurt for the cream or would it curdle or have too much of a bite? Also was tempted to sprinkle it with sweetened coconut. Or peanuts. Served with basmati rice.

Excellent! Made this with the cauliflower/potato dish from the same show and it was terrific. I did forget to add the cream at the end but it was still very satisfying. Next time I may add a bit more spice.

This was wonderful. I made a couple of modifications to fit my lifestyle. First, I'm always looking for excuses to make chicken stock, so I used shredded chicken from a whole chicken that I boiled to make stock. Second, to cut fat, instead of butter and cream, I used non-fat, plain Greek yogurt; it was still creamy delicious.

I could only give this four stars because I made so many modifications. Instead of peppers I sautéed an onion with the butter/oil/garlic-ginger paste. I didn't have garam masala and based on other reviews that called for more taste, I doubled the seasoning amounts to 2 tsp curry powder and 1tsp cumin and 2 tsp paprika. I used canned diced tomatoes with their liquid, added 1/4 cup of water because of how long I was simmering and did not puree anything. I finished the dish off with coconut milk instead of cream as well. I served it with jasmine rice and a bottle of red wine - amazing!

this was super great! I made a vat of this stuff for a party of 30 and everyone asked for the recipe or if they could take the leftovers! have made it again since, and have switched to canned tomatoes with no difference in taste. One of my favorite recipes of all time, and I cook A LOT!!! Thanks so much, Aarti!
ps. would rank this as an intermediate recipe though...lots of prep involved

I thought this was great. I didn't have garam masala, so I estimated with what I did have, and it came out well. I would agree with another reviewer, though, that this was not easy. There was too much pan-changing for it to be easy. I would definately rate it as medium.
