This was really good! Not spicy at all, and a really good way to start trying Indian food. I usually cook the chicken before adding all the seasoning and sauce to reserve some for my kids and put a little sauce on the side to dip or mix with the chicken. You just never know with kids! Second time I have made this and it went into my recipe box! There was about 3/4c of extra sauce I had leftover and only used the standard 6oz can of tomato paste.
Hi Julia.
I made this the other night and found that there was way too much tomato paste. I have a hunch that you used a 6 oz. can not an 8 oz. in the video but called and wrote it as 8 oz.
Is that possible? I think it would have been good but since I doubled the recipe, I used at total of 16 oz. of tomato paste and it was way too much.
Love your videos and recipes otherwise 🙂
