This very tasty Chicken in Yoghurt curry is from our cookbook Fast and Easy Indian Cooking for TM5 and TM31, which I co-authored with Rosie Laljee. It’s simple to make with only a few ingredients, and it will definitely impress all your family and friends!
Fast and Easy Indian Cooking with 124 fabulous recipes captures the rich diversity, exciting flavours and exotic taste sensations offered by the many food cultures of the vast Indian subcontinent. The new edition of this popular bestseller has been comprehensively and lovingly updated with beautiful photography for every recipe. The TM31 edition was published in 2009 and our Chicken in Yoghurt recipe rapidly became famous worldwide amongst Thermomix owners.
Serves four with plenty of sauce, or is easily adapted to serve eight – see second tip. We like to serve it with rice and a chopped salad.
This recipe is suitable for Thermomix TM6, TM5 and TM31.
