    Good! I tried this recipe and it came out OK. I did not use raw papaya, nuts and silver varkh(sheet) in this dish. After cooking the chicken in the oven, I removed all the bones from the chicken and made it boneless. I'm just curious that why there is no use of Ginger, Garlic or Kasoori Methi in this dish. This dish was too creamy and buttery for me. I don't think that I will be making this dish ever again. Thank you.

    This dish turned out well, I did not use butter entirely, but used half butter-half oil, just as tasty. Thanks.
