Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Okra curry with toasted chickpea flour (Sindhi curry); Nimmy Paul's tomato rice (Tamatar biryani)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was easy and amazing. Good for weeknights or any time. Very healthy too.

    Pretty good and quite easy. I did not chop the spinach.

    Wow-I made this tonight to use up pantry ingredients and had no idea how delicious it would be. It does have an incredible depth of flavor given the short cook time, and the blend of spices did really add flavor to the chicken as promised. You need about an hour for this, but the prep is very simple- most of the spices called for are from one of the book's garam masala recipes. I used my own blend, along with regular raisins and frozen spinach. Served with rice this was a great meal!

    Excellent! Substituted mustard greens from CSA box and omitted raisins. Was a bit too salty without the raisins, but delicious dish overall.

    A new favorite recipe from this book! Not difficult, just don't skimp on the initial browning of the almond, raisins and onions. It had so much depth of flavor and delicious sweetness, great over rice to soak up the juice.

    p. 150 - note this recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts
