Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt

Directions

1

Mix together the yogurt, turmeric, cumin mustard seeds, salt, and pepper in a dish large enough to hold the breasts in 1 layer.

8

With the steam vent pointed away from your face, gently release any remaining pressure.

9

Transfer the breasts and potatoes to a serving platter and set aside in a warm place.

Cook the sauce over high heat until reduced and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
