For a lighter twist on a tandoori takeaway, you'll coat meat-free chick'n in a spiced yoghurt marinade before browning in the pan to infuse it with Punjabi-inspired flavour. Delicious!

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Add your basmati rice and 300ml [390ml] [600ml] cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, rinse the rice under cold running water until cool

Meanwhile cut your meat-free chick'n into bite-sized pieces
Combine your curry powder, half of your natural yoghurt (you'll use the rest later!), 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt in a bowl
Add the chopped meat-free chick'n and give everything a good mix up

Slice your cucumber in half lengthways and scrape out the inner seeds using a teaspoon and discard
Slice the cucumber halves finely

Meanwhile, add the remaining natural yoghurt and mayo to a bowl
Zest your lime[s] (try to grate lightly and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)
Peel and finely grate (or chop) your garlic
Add the chopped garlic (don't like raw garlic? Go easy!), lime zest and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to the yoghurt – this is your lime & garlic yoghurt

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the coated meat-free chick'n to the pan and cook for 4-5 min or until slightly browned – this is your tandoori meat-free chick'n

Whilst the meat-free chick'n is browning, pick your coriander and mint leaves from their stems, discard the stems
Chop the mint and coriander leaves roughly

Add the cooled rice, nigella seeds, sliced cucumber, shredded red cabbage and most of the chopped coriander and mint (save the rest for garnish!) to a large bowl
Squeeze the juice of the lime[s] into the bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and give everything a good mix up – this is your rice salad

Serve the tandoori meat-free chick'n over the rice salad
Drizzle the lime & garlic yoghurt all over and garnish with the remaining chopped mint & coriander
Enjoy!
