Another of my Indian cooking class tutor's recipes. I have a grinder so grind the seeds to make powder as stated, otherwise using store-brought powder is fine. With the chicken, you can easily substitute boneless.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I served it with basmati rice and a side of vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.

This masala chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and complex. I loved the combination of spices, and the yogurt marinade really helped to keep the chicken moist. I will definitely be making this
