This is the best butter chicken I’ve ever made! The cardamom adds such a nice flavor. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
I tried it but taste was too strong, I think too much cardamom? Maybe skipping it next time.
I was skeptical about the cardamom but gave it a try. It turned out pretty good, although I think I prefer my usual recipe without it. 3 stars.
Cardamom can be a gamble, but I’m glad you tried it! It’s a unique flavor for sure. Next time, maybe less cardamom could work for you!
I messed up the ingredients and put too much garlic. Tasted strong but still kinda good, I guess? 2 stars.
Don’t sweat it! Garlic can sometimes just amp up the flavor. I’m sure it still turned out tasty! 👍
Easy to make but not my favorite. My kids didn’t eat it. May not try again. 2/5.
Isn’t cardamom just for desserts? Not sure why you’d put it in chicken, but I tried it and it was surprisingly tasty. I give it a decent 4.
I thought the same thing! But it’s actually really good with savory dishes too. Glad you liked it!
Cardamom in chicken? Sounds like a weird combo! Not sure I’d try it. 🤔
Yasss! This is a keeper! Never thought cardamom would taste so good in chicken. 5 stars!
I totally agree! Cardamom gives it such a unique flavor. Planning to make it this weekend!
OMG this was amazing! I added extra cayenne for some heat and it was fire! 5 stars all the way.
This butter chicken is divine! The cardamom gives it a unique flavor. Definitely 5 stars!
