    Good! I tried this recipe and it came out OK. Overall the dish was too dry for me and the boneless chicken breast was tough as well. The color of the dish was not appealing at all, so I had to add 1/4tsp. turmeric powder, reduce the quantity of garam masala and chilli powder. I don't think that I will be making this dish ever again. Thank you.
