    @ husna. Best is, to use an exact amount of home made thick milk of almonds in place of milk cream in any recipes. Soak the almonds in luke warm water for an hou,r and later, squeez to peel off skin. Grind the skinless almonds with some water to thick milk like consitency. This is what I do whenever a recipe calls for milk cream as it is way healthier.

    Hi,is there alternative for milk cream coz it's not always available at home regardless other ingredients

    Excellent! I tried this recipe and it came out very good. The only changes I would like to recommend for this recipe is using 1 tbsp. chicken tandoori masala instead of 2 tbsps., use 3 tbsps. of kasuri methi and increase the quantity of chicken to 750gms. from 500gms. because there was too little chicken and too much gravy. My husband loved this dish so much that he ate it for 2 days, until it was all gone. I will definitely be making this dish again. Thank you!

    kasturi methi is dried methi leaves that you get in supermarkets and whipped yogurt is nothing but beaten yogurt which has no lumps.... kausar thanks for these encouraging comments....... Asfiya i never tried adding mayonese, cheese and elichi powder to it so i dont know how will it taste after you add these additional ingredients
