Delicious! The only way I can imagine it would be 'sweet' as the previous poster stated is if they used a *flavored* yogurt (like vanilla) instead of plain yogurt. Great dish!

Not too bad, a little sweet for my taste (maybe should have used different yogurt (Lite & fit). Season with pepper and you really have something
