Taj Maholla! Chicken, Recipe courtesy Guy Fieri, 2008, as seen on Guy’s Big Bite Found on Food Network, posting for ZWT , We thoroughly enjoyed this! used a pre-made garam masala blend purchased at Penzey’s and added some crushed red pepper because we like the heat This is a very rich dish – the next time we make it we’ll sub half and half for the heavy cream to cut back a little on the fat and calories Served over rice, with naan bread and a cucumber salad – delicious!, This recipe had a lot of potential and I was able to pick out many of the flavors, however even though the flavors were all there they were all very understated and the dish was almost bland That along with the time it took to prepare(I hate de-boneing!) and the cost of making it ( the spices I didn’t have on hand and the 1/2 cup garlic and the 1/4 c ginger!) I probably won’t make it again Made for ZWT8
