Chicken in Yogurt Gravy (Dahi Murgh)
Background
Chicken is probably the favourite meat in the Indian sub-continent, largely because it is easy to cook, easily available and has not been associated with any religious taboo (to date) other than vegetarians who refrain from any kind of meat. This recipe has been a must-have in our weekend gatherings for the last few years as it is easy to make and tastes delicious. It goes very well with rice or naan bread.
