- Tested 1/25/99. Excellent. Reduce the water by half. OK to use full amount of cayenne.
- Do not be put off by the long list of ingredients, the result is well worth the effort. To speed up the preparation, you can substitute commercial garam masala for the peppercorns, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and cardamom. To serve, mound the chicken on a large heated platter over a bed of steaming basmati or possibly wild rice.

- Reduce heat to medium. Add in the chicken pcs and cook till no longer pink, 5 to 6 min. Add in the grnd spices, turmeric, cayenne, paprika, nutmeg and salt. Cook till aromatic and the chicken is coated with spices, 3 to 4 min.
