Tips

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIf you don't have the spices you could use a curry paste or powder in their place.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAlso good is to replace the spices with a tbsp of lime pickle blended finely with the yoghurt.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýTo allow the yoghurt & spice mixture to permeate the chicken more, pull skin away from the breast gently & spread some of the yoghurt underneath the skin.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýServe with a salad or simple green vegetables.
