can be a bit dry (could benefit from a sauce of some kind) but otherwise really delicious

Tandoori Chicken with Biryani Rice
The Chutney is the sauce of my dreams. Would love to try a veg or tofu version.

Pepper Chicken
What do you think of when you hear "Pepper Chicken"? Whatever you imagine, you are wrong. These exotic spices and peppers will transport you across the world to some distant bazaar. *chef's kiss*
