We had Chicken Satay at Opus at Koregaon Park, Pune  & it was so tasty. I wanted to make Chicken Satay since a long time, so at last I thought of making it. I was very happy with the outcome. It was tender, succulent & tasty.. just like the way I wanted it to be. My family loved it & said it was better than any restaurant. I could’nt wait to share this recipe with all of you. I’m sure you will enjoy making & eating it the way we did…
