    Very Good! I tried this dish and it came out really good. The only two things I would like to recommend is using only 1/4 packet of amul butter(big one) instead of 1/2 a packet, as the butter starts floating on top of the dish when it is ready and secondly I also added kasoori methi along with the chicken. I will be definitely making this dish again very soon. Thank you.
