This recipe really has nothing to do with Bollywood, but I wanted to use some alliteration.\u00a0 It’s got a pretty good kick, so if you don’t like heat I’d suggest reducing the amount of cayenne in the marinade.\u00a0 Still use the full jalapeno in the sauce, though, as it gives it a lot of flavor (the cream cuts down on the heat, anyhow).<\/p>\n
