Tandoori Chicken, Mint Raita And Kachumber Salad

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

Add your basmati rice, black sesame seeds, 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 – this is your sesame rice

Chop your chicken into bite-sized pieces

Combine half of your natural yoghurt (you'll use the rest later!) and your curry powder in a bowl with your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp [1 1/1 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil

Add the chopped chicken pieces and mix well until they're completely coated – this is your coated chicken

Cover a baking tray (or two!) with tin foil (to avoid mess!)

Add the coated chicken to the baking tray[s] and put it under the grill for 10-12 min or until the chicken is cooked through and starting to char (no pink meat!) – this is your tandoori chicken

(Doubled your protein? Do this in batches!)

Meanwhile, cut your cucumber in half lengthways

Scrape out the inner seeds with a teaspoon and set aside for later, then dice the rest

Peel and finely dice your shallot[s]

Dice your tomato[es]

Combine the diced cucumber, tomato and shallot in a bowl with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil

Season with a pinch of salt – this is your kachumber salad

Combine the cucumber seeds and the remaining natural yoghurt in a bowl with your mint sauce

Season with a pinch of salt – this is your mint raita
