Thai Yoghurt Chicken ...

As you get to know my blog and of course me you'll realise firstly that I am a huge fan of yoghurt, I use it in many of my soups  , sauces , as a marinade and so much more.

The culture found in yoghurt is super important for our intestines and gut , it promotes healthy bowels and gives you a firstline defence against unwanted bacteria.

I am Lactose intolerant you may say! Well it's easy look in your local supermarket for 'LACTOSE FREE' milk and yoghurt , these containe an enzyme called LACTASE which destroys the LACTOSE in your dairy and leaves only goodness behind.
** just to let you know that these products will taste slightly sweeter , but no sugar will have been added.

Most of the dishes I prepare are made with Lactose free dairy.
