Comments from LolliP :

1) Cooking is about a half hour to 45 minutes, depending on size of chicken pieces and level of heat.





2) All of the curd (we used plain yoghurt) curdled (no pun, I think this is how you would describe it). So, we made another batch of sauce, using all of the ingredients except the chicken.





3) This was not hot, just spicy enough. You could probably spice it up with more chilli powder and more garlic, or fresh garlic instead ofpowdered.

User Reviews:

I always thought that u fry the onions first...then the saffron....? otherwise the saffron may burn causing a bitter taste.
