This is another of my favorite Indian dishes. The first time I had it was in Basel, Switzerland. So much flavor!

This is my favorite Indian dish, and I would love to be able to capture the same restaurant flavor at home...this certainly sounds like it would do it - I will have to try my hand at it. Thanks!

Hi--
quick question...
what part of the chicken is best for this?
are you using a whole chicken with the bones ?...
or removing the bones?

thanks!
