Method

  • 1. Mix together the tandoori paste and yogurt. Marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture, covered in the fridge overnight.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 375 F
  • 3. Put the marinated chicken onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for 30-45 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Discard any left-over marinade.
  • 4. Mix the salad leaves, corriander, mango, chillis, tomatoes and red onion in a bowl.
  • 5. Mix the lemon juice with an equal volume of olive oil to make a dressing.
  • 6. Dress and season the salad just before serving with the tandoori chicken.
  • Tips

    • Thigh meat is superior to breast meat.

      The chicken can be finished on a barbecue - just give it 20 mins in the oven first, otherwise the outside will be burnt before the chicken is cooked through.
