So this is basically a saucy grilled chicken recipe. It uses cubed chicken fillet, but I think you can use any chicken pieces according to what you prefer to eat. Mum made this and served it with garlic naan. Had such a different flavour to, was different that the usual red chilli grilled chicken, also it was quite saucy for grilled chicken. Defiantly to be repeated in my opinion, was a good different and a good flavour, loved it.
