♥...Yogurt Chicken Curry II...♥

Hi friends, sorry for the late update on my Yogurt Chicken Curry II recipe...which we had together with the Egg Paratha Rolls...see N3 before this or CLICK.

I'd always prefer curries which are thicker rather than the lighter/watery ones...so there goes with all my curries I've posted here b4...U may still add more water/milk to make it lighter...but don't forget to adjust the seasonings as well!

Like I've said earlier, there's another version of Chicken Curry using yogurt already been posted in my blog before. Check it out HERE... it's typed in Malay!

Therefore, I named this newer recipe as Yogurt Chicken Curry II...

It basically has yogurt as main...but the method of cooking is slightly different and I skipped potatoes...

Enough of suspense...let's see the recipe...hehehe!
