I made this as part of lunch this afternoon. My Mom and brother found it heavily spiced up and personally, I would most politely suggest for using at the most 1 1/2 tbsps. of oil and NO more because by using 3 tbsps. it turned out to be really oily(the oil was floating in the gravy. Additionally, I'd like to use some water too while cooking this chicken, in order to make it less spicy. For those who love spicy chicken, this one's 'THE BEST INDIAN SPICY CHICKEN, IMHO'!

My hobbies are numerous and diverse. They range from being an avid reader to decorating home, loving cats, embroidery, painting, writing poems and letters to friends, endless thinking, collecting candles, music, trying various cuisines and reaching out to people.
I love cooking and devising ways to smash set patterns of cooking. I do not like over use of spices in the cooking and am dead against using readymade or canned ingredients.
Cooking is my favourite prescription for busting all the stress that I accumulate in the work place.
