About Chicken cooked in yoghurt

Chicken Cooked in Yoghurt is a flavorful dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, celebrated for its tender texture and rich taste. The dish typically combines chicken pieces marinated and simmered in a creamy yoghurt base, flavored with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and garlic. Yoghurt acts as both a marinade and sauce, tenderizing the chicken and adding a tangy depth to the flavors. This dish offers a good source of protein from the chicken and beneficial probiotics from the yoghurt, which can support digestive health. Its spices provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, depending on preparation, it may be high in saturated fats and calories if excessive oil or cream is added. For a healthier version, lean chicken cuts and low-fat yoghurt can be used, making it a nutritious and satisfying option for balanced meals.
