The chicken is dry cooked in the oven and the Roshan Lal sauce is made up over the course of 50mins to fuse all the flavours together to provide a rich taste sensation. The sauce is added to the chicken and is served with cool mint yoghurt, which is then garnished with fresh coriander leaving you with a refreshing taste.
