    The chicken was good. I ran out of yogurt so I used sour cream. I was skeptical about the papaya fearing that it may be a little too sweet so I used butternut squash instead. It had bit of sweetness to it and it was soooooooooooooo good. The lady at walmart asked how does the squash taste I tld her I didn't know, I'll have to wait and find out lol.

    the fenugreek seeds/powder/leaves can be purchased at Indian and Pakistani groceries, because there millions of those people here. Thank God.

    Our store frequently has Papaya even in February but didn't today so I used a jar of refrigerated Mango slices from the produce dept. We really liked this dish. We ate it with Basmati rice and the Spice Goddess Green Beans with cilantro. Now I'm anxious to try it with the papaya.
    I bought all the spices for Bal's recipes online at my spice sage Free shipping, no minimum.

    I made this last night and it was very good. I went a little heavy on the spices and added some curry powder to the dish for a little extra kick. I served this over basmati rice that I "doctored up" with chopped onions, mushrooms and fresh parsley. I will definately make this again.

    Also, Richard in Nashville try to Botan market on the corner of Nolensville and Edmunson Pike for spices. I bought the Fenugreek there.
