Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Pre-heat the grill to high then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Add your basmati rice, a pinch of salt 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, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving

Step 1
2.

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 very generous pinch of salt in a bowl

Add your chicken breast strips and give everything a good mix up – this is your coated chicken

Step 2
3.

Drizzle a baking tray with vegetable oil (to prevent the chicken from sticking)

Add the coated chicken to the tray and put it under the grill for 10-12 min, turning the chicken half way through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and starting to char – this is your tandoori-style chicken

Step 3
4.

Meanwhile, add the remaining natural yoghurt and mayo to a small bowl

Zest your lime[s]

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

Step 4
5.

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

Slice the cucumber halves finely

Top, tail and slice your radishes(as finely as you can)

Step 5
6.

Strip your coriander and mint leaves from their stalks, discard the stalks

Roughly chop the coriander and mint leaves

Step 6
7.

Add the cooked rice, chopped cucumber, sliced radish and your nigella seeds to a large bowl

Squeeze the juice of the lime[s] into the bowl and season with salt and a drizzle of olive oil and give it a good mix up – this is your rice salad

Step 7
8.

Serve the tandoori-style chicken over the rice salad

Drizzle the lime & garlic yoghurt all over and garnish with the chopped mint & coriander

Enjoy!
