I really liked this recipe. Made it for a Colts televised game and it was a hit. The cilantro/yogurt added a nice bite to the dish. Watch the oven time, do not overbake.

While it was very easy, it was quite cloying with the cheese and then yogurt on top. Husband and daughter did not enjoy it, I'm afraid. I do like the easy yogurt sauce and can re-used that simple idea in other recipies.
