Though the flavors are Indian, this is actually a British dish. An Indian restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland, claims to have invented it when a customer complained that his chicken had no sauce. In Sunbasket’s spin, the take-out favorite gets an update with a rich but healthy Greek yogurt marinade and our custom masala spice blend.
