For all the time I lived in Belgium, I just thought : yogurt is to drink in smoothies or to make desserts. Being in Malaysia I love to add it in chicken recipe dishes and curries.

What’s more delicious than dipping a steamed chicken in a dip with garlic, green chili peppers and lime? Cooking it hot and spicy in stead of steaming it! That’s how the below recipe came about. Quick and easy and the little gravy that is left after simmering is just delicious.

When you de-skin the chicken, obviously the taste of the gravy can more easily penetrate the meat.
