Made this tonight and served with Spanish rice+broccili. It was delicious! I wrapped in foil and baked in the oven because I was afraid of sticking in the pan, but would love to try to get some char on it in the future.
A couple of adjustments: I only used 4 tbs yogurt in the sauce and it was plenty. Also I baked in foil at 400 for about 15-20 minutes instead of frying, then used excess sauce for my veggies.
