This is a Punjabi dish and the name of the recipe translates to yoghurt chicken. This is usually served as a main course.
Jimmy Seervai is perhaps the best known chef of Indian cuisine, after his great success on MasterChef. Jimmy learnt this recipe from a Punjabi family friend, Uncle Manjit, in Sydney and has added his own variations to it.
This is a spicy chicken dish, unlike the usual Indian curry, which uses yoghurt as the main marination base.

Hot Tips
Sealing meat
Sealing meat does not actually help to keep the juices inside the meat, it does however add a great charred flavour and colour to the meat. Sear cuts of meat in a hot frying pan or roasting dish over medium to high heat.
Glossary
