Being alone in a nuclear family, makes me feel uncomfortable at times mostly when I am sick. Even I have some happiness at these, that’ not something but what I long  forever – My hubby’s care. At these time he cooks for me, I heard he cooks well from his friends, but only on these days he use to cook neither he pretends as though he doesn’t know to identify all the spice powders :D. This was one of his favourite and well versed recipe with chicken cooked in yogurt. This recipe looks very simple, but the taste and aroma of this recipe was too good. Especially I could feel the love, affection and so on in this recipe…
