Ingredients : (serves 4)
1 tbsp tandoori paste
60g natural low-fat yoghurt
100g chicken breast fillets, cut into chunks
1 x 60g wholemeal pitta or wrap lemon or lime wedges or slices to serve
Raita:
4 tbsp plain low-fat yoghurt
a few sprigs of mint, chopped 1 chunk cucumber, diced
1 spring onion, finely chopped a good pinch of ground cumin a pinch of ground coriander
Indian salad:
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1⁄4 red onion, finely sliced
1⁄2 green or red chilli, deseeded and diced
a few crisp lettuce leaves, shredded a few sprigs of coriander, chopped juice of 1 lime
Method :
Mix the tandoori paste and yoghurt in a bowl. Stir in the chicken until well coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Make the raita: mix together all the ingredients, then cover and chill. Mix the salad ingredients together, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Thread the chicken onto 4 wooden skewers and place in a foil-lined grill pan. Cook under a preheated hot grill, turning occasionally, for 10–15 minutes, until well-cooked inside and golden brown outside.
Warm the pitta or wrap in a griddle pan or low oven. Remove the skewers and place the chicken and salad inside the pitta pocket or on top of the wrap. Drizzle with the raita and fold over or roll up. Serve with lemon or lime wedges or slices.
