Indian Chicken With Yogurt Sauce

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"I ran across this dish in my Stonyfield Farm Cookbook - it has such an interesting combination of ingredients that I thought I would post it. It says that the recipe is highly rated by everyone who tries it. It also adds that the "hotness" of the dish can be adjusted by the type of chili pepper you use."
