    My in-laws Loved it. Though I added extra quantity of meat around 856 gms & added ingredients accordingly.

    Thank You Spice Eats for this delicious recipe. 😊

    This recipe was not only easy to make but also fabulous. I followed your instructions to the T (except adding a little kasuri methi in the marinade and skipping the yoghurt in the end cause I wanted the dish dry) and the meat came out excellect and so soft and tender. the taste was excellent! I truly recommend this recipe to anyone and hats off to Spice Eats for this wonderfully comforting and tasty recipe.
