Hey, I gave it a five without even tasting it since it sounds so good!

I was really excited to try this recipe--and I did, exactly as it was written.. It did not taste like normal chicken saag.. was definitely lacking something and I couldn't quite put my finger on it.. wish I could because it was pretty simple.
