Everyone I have made this for loves it. Most requested for family birthday dinners. I changed just a little. Less chicken broth & used my hand blender to puree the sauce. Bought the massala spice mixture instead of bothering with putting together all the spices.

We took 3 bites of this and had to throw it out. The sauce was not a sauce it was like a thin soup. I cooked it exactly as directed, but I think it had way too much chicken stock in it. The chicken was just bland. I will never make this again. There was way too much work for something that was not good at all.
