This was really flavorful and rich tasting for only 350 calories (I use fat free yogurt). The spices used in small amounts give a well rounded flavor profile with the heat so often present in Indian cuisine. Being simply made in one pan is another plus. I do have to say that I needed to add some liquid, chicken broth is what I chose, shortly after putting the yogurt in. Perhaps it was the thick yogurt that I use but there was no way that it was going to cook for 20 mins without being burnt to a cinder. By the time the 20 mins was up it had all cooked down to great sauce.
