Marinated, succulent chicken pieces in tikka sauce. Serves 4.

Ingredients

6 chicken breasts
1 FAIRTRADE lemon
120 ml natural yoghurt
1 small cooking onion
3 cloves garlic
10 ml ground coriander
5 ml chilli powder
5 ml FAIRTRADE ground ginger
10 ml cumin

Method

Preparation

Skin the onions and chop fine.
Skin the garlic and crush.
Zest and juice the lemon.
Slice the chicken into large "cubes". Mix the yoghurt, lemon juice and ground spices, together with the bay leaf, in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken pices and turn to ensure they are all covered. Leave overnight in a cool place (the refridgerator is fine).

Cooking

Take the chicken pieces out of the marinade and place on a baking tray with a grid underneath if possible.
Bake in the oven at Gas Mark 4 for 25 minutes. Turn up to Gas Mark 6 for the last 5 minutes to crispen the chicken.

To serve

Serve with Nan bread, FAIRTRADE chutney, raita or cucumber sauce, and some Indian side dishes.

Variation

Skewer the pieces for Chicken Tikka Kebabs, and grill.
