 Chicken and Yoghurt Potjie
This uniquely flavoured Potjie is a favourite and already won the Northern Transvaal Potjiekos Competition. The lemon peel gives and extra bit of flavour to the food. The Potjie can be served with baked potatoes or on a bed of rice as the pot has a lovely sauce. It's enough for 6 to 8 people and a size 3 Potjie is recommended.
