    This chicken is moist and flavorful! I love the Raita to go along with it. It's really 'cooling'. Yummy recipe! - 6/21/09

    I thought the raita was sour and didn't compliment the chicken well. It was okay, but I won't make it again. - 5/3/12

    It's on the spicy side - but I loved it. :) Added cilantro to the raita and left out the ginger. Yummy....
    Will make this again :D - 8/13/10
