Tandoori Chicken                                 with Mint Yoghurt Dip

This dish is great for feeding a crowd, just use as many chicken breasts as you need & make double or triple the amount of marinade. The chicken is also great cold in a salad or sandwich the next day!!

Tandoori mix is available in most supermarkets but may be cheaper in Asian supermarkets, the one I use is by Rajah & was £1.19 for 100g. It should last a while if it's kept airtight & is a great addition to your storecupboard!

 

Serves 2 easily doubled, tripled etc! Approx 95p per person (based on using frozen chicken breasts-defrosted) & approx 40p for the Mint Yoghurt Dip

Prep time 5 minutes plus 3-4 hours marinating

Cooking time 25 minutes

 

 

 

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks

250ml plain yoghurt

1 ½ tbsp Tandoori powder

1 ½ tsp dried coriander leaf

Put the chicken into a bowl.

Mix together all the other ingredients then pour over the chicken.

Stir so that the chicken is completely covered in the marinade.

Cover the bowl with clingfilm & leave in the fridge for about 3-4 hours.

Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180 Fan/ Gas 6 & remove the chicken from the fridge.

Line a baking tray with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade with tongs or a fork & shake off the excess. Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray, then into the oven for 25 minutes.

Serve with the Mint Yoghurt Dip & a selection of salad.
