Used different ingredients. This stuff is amazing...I've tried it several times with chicken, beef and prawn. It was good with all of them even though I had been hesitant about the prawn. I have also substituted yogourt for the cream and it was still quite good. - 29 Sep 2008
Nice, unique taste. My guests loved it, but since I prefer spicey food that makes me sweat - I myself found it a little bland. - 29 Sep 2008
We LOVED this recipe. I would give it TEN stars if I could. I think we'll make it again for a barbecue this weekend. We made naan on the grill and ate it with the chicken with some chutney and some raita - SO GOOD! The recipe for the naan is on this site too. We loved the marinade so much we used a little of it for dip! - 29 Sep 2008
