Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
this dish is our family favorite. even the kids love it! it is also very delicious with cauliflower and potatoes instead of chicken. just slice the potatoes about 1/2 inch thick and cook so that they are still a bit tender. we rarely have the time to make naan, so we usually use tortillas instead. yummy!!
