Notes

There are no tomatoes used and the sourness in the dish comes from yougurt. Dif the yogurt is not very sharp then you might be required to use little more yogurt.This recipe does not require water but if you think the dish is drying up do add a little water or stock. The final appearance of the dish need to be semi dry with masala coating the meat.
