Give it a try!

I was surprised to see this recipe pop up on yahoo since I\\'ve had it for years from some free recipe cards that Martha Stewart sent.

The cinnamon/salt broiled crust is FABULOUS and is complimented nicely by the cool raita (as well as the fragrant saffron rice that\\'s also pictured but not listed in this recipe)

A few tips:

Don\\'t bother with half yogurt and half sour cream. Go traditional and go all yogurt. Trader Joe\\'s greek yogurt has a wonderful thick and creamy texture - even the fat free which will save fat and calories. You can also play with the herbs and use mint or dill if you like those better.

Also, have your kitchen fan on or open a window or two - in my old apartment, the broiling chicken occasionally had the tendency of setting off my smoke alarm. Totally worth it, though.

Looks and Sounds Great

You know who cares if it is real "Indian" food. It looks like a great recipe and someone actually says it is great. Divu, unless you are going to comment on actually how the food is. STAY OFF. I don\\'t care about your beliefs, I am looking for something easy and delicious to fix. If you have Indian food that is easy and delicious to fix then have that posted, and I would love to try it. Can\\'t wait to try this. If anyone else has, and has opinions to the taste please post. I really want to know how good or not so good this"INDIAN INSPIRED" food is. THANKS

reminds me of an episode of LHOTP

This recipe reminds me of an episode of "Little House on the Prairie" where Laura volunteered to cook (for Nellie who couldn\\'t) Cinnamon Chicken to impress Almanzo. Instead of cinnamon, Laura used Pepper. I didn\\'t think there was an actual recipe for cinnamon chicken. I guess there is now.

before we cloud the recipe, it clearly reads indian INSPIRED.
not a completely black and white indian dish.

Heheh, welcome to every traditional, cultural cooks dilemma..

Most traditional meals (Mexican, Indian, Chinese , etc...) are completely distorted and changed from their original recipes when they are made in America :D
In order to taste the TRUE recipes you would have to go to the actual country, or someones home where there is someone who actually knows the traditional recipe.

Divu,
i don\\'t under stand what the [profane] it is to you whether somebody makes something and says it\\'s an indian or mexican or etc. dish! [profane] you ain\\'t going to be the one eating it so what is it to you? and whether it is exact or not guess what? this site is just dinnner tips it doesn\\'t say actual indian meals from top to bottom! now does it? Duh! And you say you hate it when amerians try to make a dish and call it an indian dish well guess what US AMERICANS hate it when you Indians make some American food and try saying that is the way it should be done you want to know how it should be done then go to an american resturant and taste the betterness compared to your curi [profane]!

...Indian is not a "religon". It\\'s a nationality.

Also, nowhere does it say that this meal is Indian food. It is "Indian-inspired".
