Comments and Questions... Sabiha I would appreciate if you could send me focused feedback. How can a dish be stupid? and why couldnt you eat them? too spicy, too creamy, not to your taste? adjust as you please or you could browse away from this website and find one that is more suited to your taste? 07 Feb 2010 rizvana i think its stupid dishes that you got. i mean i couldnt eat anyone of them 28 Jan 2010 Hi Ronnie, thanks for the tip, yes it will indeed be rich like a korma. I prefer ground almonds as these are easily available. If using cashew nuts, one has to soak and then grind. 13 Oct 2009 Ronnie B. Hi, great recipe Sabiha. One suggestion, if you want to enrichen the dish even further, you can add 2 tablespoons of crushed powdered Almonds or Cashewnuts, at the same point in the recipe that the yogurt is added and it brings an amazing richness to the dish. Happy Eating. 29 Sep 2009 Sabiha For BBQs use the recipe that says Chicken tikks/tandoori chicken. 29 Jun 2009 Sara Sheikh Great!
