Instructions

Marinate the Chicken
1

Preheat the oven to 210°C. In a bowl, combine the tandoori masala spice (use less if you don't like spice), tomato puree and half the yoghurt. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar . Add the diced chicken and stir to combine. Set aside. IMPORTANT: Remember to wash your hands after handling raw meat. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Pop into a bowl with the cider vinegar, sugar (see ingredients for amount) and half the nigella seeds. Season with salt and pepper, stir well and set aside.

Chop Chop
2

Chop the tomatoes into 2cm chunks. Trim the cucumber then halve lengthways. Chop each half into 4 long strips then chop widthways into small pieces. Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce then half lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.

Salad Time
3

Pop the tomatoes in a bowl with the remaining nigella seeds and half the coriander. Add a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside. In another bowl, combine the cucumber, remaining yoghurt and half the mint. Keep it aside for now.

Roast the Sweet Potatoes
4

Pop the sweet potato fries on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread out and roast on the middle shelf of the oven until soft and golden, 18-20 mins.

Cook the Chicken
5

Line a baking tray with foil. Put the marinated chicken on the tray and bake on the top shelf until cooked through, 10-12 mins, turning halfway. TIP: Don't be afraid if the chicken chars - this will add to the flavour! Pop the naans on a baking tray, sprinkle with a little water and bake them for the final 3-4 mins of chicken cooking time. Get ready to serve. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Pile It Up
6

This dish is all about piling it high! Put a naan on each plate and top with the lettuce, followed by the tandoori chicken, sweet potato fries, tomato salad and cucumber raita. Scatter the pickled onions over the top, followed by a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce. Finish with the remaining chopped coriander and mint and dig in. Enjoy!

  • Suggestions: Consider marinating the chicken longer for more flavour; some preferred less mint and coriander.
  • Portions: Many noted generous, filling portions; some found there was too much salad compared to chicken.
