SPEEDY CHICKEN TIKKA DINNER
This is the perfect speedy dinner if your go-to quick feast is a curry takeaway! This homemade version can be prepped in the morning or made in one go.
And though I love experimenting with spices, this recipe only requires a ready made curry paste, to keep it simple and quick. (My favourite is Geeta's Tikka paste which comes in a convenient small sachet )
INGREDIENTS
Chicken Tikka
150g natural yoghurt
2 tbsp tikka Curry Paste
4 skinless chicken breasts cut in to smallish chunks
Raita
200g natural yoghurt
1 red onion
finely chopped ½ cucumber ½ pack coriander
chopped 1 lemon
Salad for serving
275g vine tomatoes
large bag (or equivalent) green salad leaves
METHOD
Mix together 150g of yoghurt with curry paste in a large bowl, add the chicken and coat in the mixture, cover and chill for 30 mins if time allows.
Prepare the raita close to the time of eating by halving the cucumber lengthways, cut into dice then put in a bowl with the onion, coriander and 200g of yoghurt and add the juice of half lemon
Line a grill pan with foil and grill the chicken for 20 mins turning until nicely browned.
Assemble the salad leaves and tomatoes, chicken, serve with lemon wedge, some extra chopped coriander and raita.
Serve with side dish of quinoa, cauli rice or brown rice
