A quick and easy chicken marinade - lemon and yogurt tenderizes the lean chicken thighs while fresh garlic, veggies and spices add tons of flavor with a healthy twist.
Tahini sauce is replaced with easier yogurt and cashew sauce adding healthy fat without compromising on flavours.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
400g boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut in 2 inch cubes
Juice of one lemon
½ cup plain yogurt
3 garlic cloves - grated
1 teaspoon- cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon mace (javitri) powder
1/2 cayenne pepper (or smoked paprika)
salt and pepper to taste.
For garlic and cashew yogurt sauce:
2-3 tablespoons Cashew nuts soaked in hot water.
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2-3 tablespoon honey (depending on how sweet you prefer )
1 large garlic clove - grated
1 cup yogurt.
salt and pepper to taste
To serve:
4 homemade flat breads or Rotis
bell peppers, tomato and red onions and parsley diced to serve
Method:
In a small bowl whisk together chicken marinade: lemon juice, yogurt, grated garlic, salt, spice mix and salt and pepper. Pour marinade over chicken thigh cubes in a glass dish. Refrigerate for 1/2hr or up to overnight.
While chicken is marinating, blend together yogurt, cashews, honey, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
To cook chicken, pre-heat grill or broiler to high heat. Lightly oil the grilling pan. Grill or broil for 4-5 minutes per set or until chicken is cooked through. Allow to rest. You can also cook them on a frypan over high flame untill the chicken just begins to char.
To serve, spread a little yogurt garlic sauce down the center of each flat bread. Top with cooked chicken pieces, bell peppers, tomato and red onion diced and chopped parsley. Wrap tightly and drizzle over some more yogurt sauce and enjoy.
