SAFED DAHI MURG ( WHITE YOGHURT CHICKEN CURRY)

Yes, chicken curries without tomato base can also be very tasty. I like this curry because of its tang and it doest takes too many species. The hotness of the dish can be adjusted according to ones taste. For vegetarians, you can fry the paneer pieces to this recipe. 

Serves 4

Time: 30-45 minutes

For the marination

1 whole chicken cut in 8-10 pieces or 4 boneless chicken breast cut into bite size
