    The sauce was too thin, and the chicken didn't seem to absorb the flavors of the marinade well enough. I might need to tweak the recipe significantly.

    Really enjoyed this recipe! The spice blend was perfect, and the sauce had a great creamy texture. Easy to follow and delicious.

    The taste was there, but the chicken was a little dry. I might try adding more yogurt to the marinade next time.

    It was okay, but I think the recipe could benefit from more specific instructions. I'm not sure I got the sauce consistency right.
