Good! I tried this chicken, but the only thing that bothered me was when I fried the chicken (maybe because of the yogurt and rum in the marinate), the oil splattered all over my stove and made a big oily mess. It even ruined all the oil in my frier. Other than that the chicken came out OK. It was too creamy for me after I added the cream as per the recipe, but again it's personal preference. Thank you!

a good recipe, but omit the rum and add some white/red wine instead, gives a different flavour and tenderises the chicken as well.

It did not come out too well. The tangy taste of the sauce is good but the chicken tastes bland as the salt is added at the last stage and does not get absorb. Maybe we should add salt at marination stage

Sadia, rum is a sort of alcohol. Rohini, you can use brown vinegar mixed with a pinch of sugar instead of the rum.
