Note- The taste of the Chicken 65 is mainly on the amount of time it gets marinaded in the masala, i always marinade the chicken pieces the day before i am going to make Chicken 65. By this way the masala will be well absorbed by the chicken pieces. You can also reduce the amount of curd and add one beaten egg to the marination.)
