Homestyle Dahi Chicken

There are these frequent days in our fast lives, when we want to eat some thing yummy and delicious putting bare minimum efforts.

This happens too often with me when I don’t want to order from outside yet want delicious dishes on my plate with optimum resources in very short time. As either I have a meeting to attend in another 30 minutes or some unfinished task that demands immediate attention.

This simple homestyle dahi Chicken is a favourite at my mom’s place; it’s easy, simple and gets ready in a jiffy

More importantly it can be enjoyed even if you are on a diet!
