Yogurt Based Chicken Curry
This recipe is a little more tricky and time-consuming than our other recipes but is so so worth it! This yogurt-based chicken curry is so aromatic and flavorful and can be eaten with your choice of roti/naan and rice. It can also be easily frozen for days when you want a good meal but are just not in the mood to cook!

2 tbsp cumin powder
Salt, to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
