    Good! I tried this recipe and it came out OK. There is only one thing I would like to recommend is to lower the quantity of Chhoti Elaychi Powder to 3/4tsp. instead of 1 1/2tsp. The Chhoti Elaychi Powder took over all the flavors of the dish and it tasted more like Elaychi Chicken instead of Cream Chicken. I'm not sure if I will be making this dish ever again or not. Thank you!
