I made this using several recommendations of other reviewers, which were to use more peanut butter, add garlic and make one can of tomatoes one with jalapenos. It came out fabulous! The 1 can of tomatoes with jalapenos gave it just the right amount of heat to balance the peanut butter. I served it over rice, since I was serving a crowd. I also put out bowls of slice almonds and shredded sweet coconut for people to garnish with. The shredded sweet coconut was far by the best garnish of the two, so putting the coconut out for those who like it is my suggestion.

I wish I had read some of the reviews before making this dish. I made it according to the recipe but found it not at all spicy and rather bland. I will spice it up next time.

This was delicious!!! I followed other suggestions and doubled the cumin, cinnamon, and honey and used 1/2 cup of PB. I also used tomatoes with jalapenos and instead of just regular crushed tomatoes I used fire roasted tomatoes for salsa. It was very tasty and so good!

Made this today - a big hit in our house. I could only find the crushed tomatoes in a 28 oz can, so since I doubled that, I also decided to double the honey, cumin, and cinnamon. I kept the diced tomatoes as the recipe said. I also used a 1/2 cup of peanut butter instead of a third. To avoid the possible blandness as some reviewers suggested, I threw in salt and pepper of course plus fresh minced garlic...a lot. Served over couscous. Will definitely make again!

Can you use boneless chicken breasts instead of the chicken legs.

Tasted great. I went over the additions people made and added a can of peas, slivered almonds and 1 tsp of garam masala. I also put in one can of spicy chopped tomatoes and one can of regular. Can't wait to make it again.

This smelled heavenly as it cooked, however was short on flavor. It tasted way better the next day when I had some leftovers.

This recipe made my whole house smell absolutely delicious while it was cooking, However, somehow the end result was pretty tasteless. It seems like there was not enough cinnamon, cumin and peanut butter or something else was missing completely. Not bad tasting but just did not live up to the delicious smell.
