  1. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because the salt does indeed need to be adjusted, as stated in previous reviews. I used 1 tsp in the marinade and another tsp in the sauce. It was absolutely delicious. My family declared it restaurant quality and asked if we could have it every week. I order this often in Indian restaurants but had never attempted it at home, so I am delighted to find such an easy and tasty recipe for it!
     
  2. Thanks to the previous reviewer for the warning. I reduced the salt by more than half, and the result was absolutely delicious. Smells and tastes really authentic. Serve a raita with it.
     
  3. I agree with the recommendation to significantly reduce the amount of salt called for in the recipe. Having done that the result was delicious.
     
  4. Inedibly salty. I threw it out.
