Chicken Masala

This is definitely one of my all time favorite Indian dish. I love hunting for Banana Leaf Rice shops and have a taste of their Chicken Masala in order to perfect mine. At the end of the day there will always be a few variation but all still taste heavenly. One of the main differences I guess is the use of yogurt as an ingredient. Some Chicken Masala I've tasted uses it and some does not. Anyways this is a version which doesn't which makes it a little on the dry side. Hope you guys enjoy it!
