This was fantastic! I gave it 4 stars because I had to double the spices. *I also add a little cumin

This was something new and different for us. I wish I would have had peanuts to top it off. Thanks for posting the recipe.

The flavor of the sauce was great, but we only gave four stars because it didn't meld into the meat very well. I had to leave the yogurt out (milk allergy) but we didn't find it too spicy at all even without. Thanks Lisa!

This was very good, we really enjoyed it. The sauce goes really well with the rice. I was afraid that it would be too spicy but the yogurt really mellowed it. Thanks for posting.

I absolutely loved this recipe! The house really does smell great while it's cooking. This will be added to our regular rotation of dinners. Even my kids ages 3 and 1 ate it up. Wonderful!
