Tried this out today with excellent results.I thought that the no.of red chillies in the recipe may make it extremely spicy but everything compensated with the amount of butter,honey and cream.This gave a perfect taste and for the first time my younger daughter accepted it without saying it to be spicy otherwise she will be the first one to say 'arey bahut tikha hai aur mein nahin khati'
