Mmmm...chicken!!

Sometimes I like to come home and sit down to a nice fulfilling dinner. But most of the time I'm just too tired to drag myself into the kitchen to whip up something lavish. This made me experiment with traditional and not-so-traditional recipes, and I finally came up with my easy and yet delicious variations to these all time classics! Here's one for a quite evening when you just want to sit down infront of the TV and enjoy a meal fit for a king! Dahi-wali Chicken Curry (Chicken in a Yoghurt Gravy)
