Chef Ferlyn Dias of the Baltic Sushi Bar at the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm in Germany shares a taste of Asian cuisine with his recipe for Murgh Tikka Masala.
The Baltic Sushi Bar opened in October 2007 and Asian Chef Ferlyn Dias expertly prepares sushi, sashimi, curry and other specialties. I had the great fortunate of having dinner at this intimate restaurant in March 2008 and persuaded Chef Dias to share a taste of Asia with our readers. He graciously shares a tempting recipe for Murgh Tikka Masala.
