Here is a little taste of India that sure to please and interest your crew, although recipes for this dish vary in our version we find the lemon pivotal, giving the chicken a fresh zing the citrus balances and compliments the garlic, yoghurt and garam masala beautifully, not authentic by any means but certainly in the vicinity, garnished with fresh lemon wedges, fresh onion rings and mint yoghurt this dish makes a very satisfying culinary experience.
