    Would not use cilantro if using garam masala. My grandfather always said one aromatic not all in a jumble. - 11/24/19

    This meal was spectacular! I didn't have cardamom pods and looked up a substitute. The substitute just repeated the ingredients that were already listed. But it turned out very tasty. My 7 yr old loved it & she has never had Indian food before. This recipe will definitely be in my favorites. - 1/3/10

    My family loved it! We've had Curry Chicken in the past, made with coconut milk. I like that this is made with yoghurt. The kids were skeptical at first, but discovered that it tasted just as good. Thanks for sharing! - 4/7/09

    very good curry...the way curry is supposed to be. If it doesn't have a lot of spices listed in the ingredients its not real curry. Getting used to cooking with yogurt though...my husband likes curry made with coconut milk (he's malay)- but too fattening! This is just as good though. Thanks! - 1/4/08

    Mmmmm--Mmmmmm-Mmmmmm! Loved it! (I didn't have the g masala powder, and am not sure what that might have added, but it was excellent even without it.) Thanks for this new recipe! :)
    My son took the leftovers to work for lunch today, and a co-worker begged for the recipe--based on the smell alone!:)
