This is very good! Next time I will add a little more yogurt, so there is more sauce to soak into the rice bed that I put the fillets on. And it was a tiny bit hot for me, so I might use even less cayenne (but, in all fairness, I'm a total sissy when it comes to spicy). Hubs and I loved it - a definite keeper. Thanks Jules - just the flavors I was looking for.
