Great recipe! At least the picture of the chicken-egg roll is extremely inviting.

Dusting into the chicken after it comes out from the oven finely ground fenugreek (Methi) with a couple of drops of oil could enhance the taste one notch higher!

Great job Aditi! At least the picture of the chicken-egg rolls is incredibly inviting; I'm already feeling hungry.

Also, if I may indulge, perhaps, dusting in finely ground methi into the completely cooked chicken after it emerges from the oven could enhance the chicken taste one notch higher.
