I'd love to try this. Not sure what garam masala is, or where to find it. Other than that, I'm all set to make it though... :/ - 8/30/08

Hello,
Sorry to reply so late.. Garam Masala is a blend of spices you can get from Indian Shops or from Sainsbury or Asda.
You need:
Coriander seeds, cummin seeds, few cloves, cardamon, cinammun stick
The bulk is Coriander seeds, and quarter of that is cummin seeds, rest is only small qty. Grind

This was very very good! We both enjoyed the different spices (and therefore minimal need of salt, though we did use more than a dash). I also used 1 t. dried chillis (perfect heat, maybe too much for most), 2/3 c. water, 1.5 diced tomotoes (no paste or canned tomatoes), and served over brown rice - 5/23/07

Even without the amount of tomato & liquid it turned out great for me. I used 2 large fresh tomatoes finely chopped, I cup of tomato sauce & 1 cup of fat free chicken stock. I like mine spicy, so, I also added 1 finely diced Habanero pepper.
I serve it over Basmati rice, and 1/4 cup of raisins. - 6/25/09

I am so glad to see Indian food on here I am cajun and my husband is Indian and we love cooking this and biryani. Make sure you cook the onion well in the oil with the garlic and other spices it really brings a flavor lime juice works wonders too. Should try the pav bhaji too it is delicious. - 3/30/09

This is excellent, authentic, and quality.
I used 1t dried chili (plenty hot! probably too hot for many), 2/3c water, small can tomatoes, and just a dash of sea salt. I served with cauli-rice.
Thank you Pami. If this recipe is half as anti-inflammatory as I expect it to be, I am in your debt. - 4/23/07

One of the doctor's I work with is from India and gave me some fresh garam masala, so I am always looking for recipes. So far all have been delicious! Since I am vegetarian, I am trading the chicken for Seitan and making a paste of the spices and oil, and sauteeing it first to absorb the flavors. - 9/26/09

I LOVE this dish and can't wait to try it. My boyfriend is Indian and when I come across to Indian recipes I always ask if the ingredients listed would work bc I know sometime recipes are geared towards the mass majority rather than true to its roots. This one seems to be a winner so I will make it. - 12/2/08

This was on the bland side so I added extra cumin, coriander and mild red chile. I also accidently bit into cardamon pod so next time I will use powdered cardamon instead. I used a 14 oz can of Hunt's diced tomatoes and almost 2 cups of water, and it tasted sour so added Splenda. Used only 1 T oil. - 9/17/09

The amount of tomato/water isn't listed in the ingredients but is in the full nutritional breakdown by ingredients. In the breakdown it states roasted, skinless chicken breast but makes no mention of it being cooked in the ingredients, + the instructions say to simmer for 10-12 minutes until cooked - 4/3/21
