I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

The sauce was too thick for my liking. I had to add some water to thin it out.

The almond sauce was amazing! I used a combination of slivered and whole almonds, and it gave the sauce a great texture. The chicken was also cooked perfectly.
