Indian Chicken in Tomato Yogurt Sauce

Submitted by personalchef

"This is my own creation based on several different Indian recipes that I have made. I like this served with Mutter Pulao, (Rice and Peas) a crisp green salad, and Naan. Check out Dumbell579's recipe #391678 for the Mutter Pulao."

this recipe has no salt added. i had to add salt plus a can of punchabi chhole for any taste. other than that the flavor was there, if you like bland

Delicious! Very tasty! Everyone - wife, two kids and me - all really enjoyed this dish. The only real changes I made was to add 2 teaspoons of salt. I should have only added 1 teaspoon, but I didn't ruin it. I also had three small tomatoes from my garden so I used all of them. I compensated with a little extra yogurt. It came out great! We'll be making this again.
