Pauljoseph, my attempt is simmering as I write. I long to cook Indian food properly, but am short the technique. Please forgive my questions: 1. Is the chicken skinless or with skin? 2. Do you saute the chicken before cooking? 3. Could I rub the massala under the skin, then saute and proceed? 4. Timing? I am assuming (check those pesky first three letters) covered, lowish for 35-45 mn (I am using chicken legs and thighs).
So far, it smells delightful, but I suspect your version would be far better...
Thank you for your thoughts.
