  1. Wow! Even though the ingredients are all similar and familiar, adding cumin powder in the oil is new and guess the process makes it a different dish. I am pinning this for later.. We are never satisfied with just one chicken curry right? :-P

  5. I’d like to make this but am a bit confused about the whole garam masala. I have garam masala in powder but do not understand what you mean by whole garam Masala. Can you please explain?
