    This looks so good. I just received Vij's from the library today. Can't wait to try the recipes in the cookbook.

    Tasty treat! I couldn't grill the chicken in my tiny apt. without setting off the smoke detectors so I tried an alternate: I marinated a quartered chicken (bone in) and then slow cooked it in a covered dish at 300 for 2 hours. Heavenly! Plus I can make this for my brother who has to eat gluten free. Thanks!

    WOW! The flavours in this makes me want to try it now. I love the bite that Tamarind gives to food. It is such a great addition. This is such an unusual recipe.. I have to try it. I like the fact this uses chick pea flour (chana flour or besan)instead of wheat flour. Good on you! Great recipe.
