Note: This recipe appear on www.weightwatchers.com. It may not look appealing but it is spicy and delicious.  I think is a different but new and exciting way of making chicken and vegetables for dinner. Indian food is spicy and not really a mystery when you're cooking it. This is a deliciously spicy dish and I highly recommend serving a bland side dish such as rice or raita to cool off your taste buds.
