Sanjinika,

If your marinade contains chilli powder already no need to add once again the chilli powder unless u like really hot stuff. :P

hi rain
i dont know...my hubby says if there was an overload the main should trip automatically...it didnt !!

the above chicken gravy can be made richer, by adding one or more of the following:
pastes of
poppy seeds
cashew
almonds
walnuts
peanuts
sesame seeds
chironji
cream
etc

oh dear....hope u can find out the source of the problem soon.

well, i leave you to ur recipes now and btw,had a pkt of mushrooms and tried ur rogan josh.it was good with chappatis.we enjoyed it :)

a best way to use up leftover chicken 65 and tandoori chicken pieces- turn them into gravy, ofcourse !! :P
jokes apart, adding fried chicken to the khorma, imparts a different taste...a must try !! :)

Im very well thanks Ayesha!
Too bad abt the power.Hope you get it back soon :)

Will try out this recipie and let you know how it came out.
