  1. KEEP CALM AND CURRY ON

    In a bowl, combine ½ the yoghurt mix, the curry powder, a splash of water, and seasoning. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and add to the bowl with the curried yoghurt. Toss until coated and set aside to marinate.

  2. QUEUE UP THE QUINOA

    Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over medium-high heat. Pop on the lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. Drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.

  3. PREP STEP

    Zest the lemon and cut into wedges. Rinse and halve the baby tomatoes. Peel and roughly slice ½ the onion. Rinse the mint and the green leaves. Roughly chop the mint and roughly shred the green leaves. In a bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, the lemon zest (to taste), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining yoghurt, ½ the chopped mint, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning. Add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  4. LET’S GET FRYING

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the marinated chicken, without the excess curried yoghurt, and fry for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through, flipping halfway. Season and remove from the pan.

  5. CHAR THE PINEAPPLE

    Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pineapple fingers for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly charred.

  6. BRING IT TOGETHER

    In a salad bowl, combine the quinoa, the halved baby tomatoes, the shredded leaves, the cooked onion & chicken, ½ the sultanas, and seasoning.

  7. SENSATIONAL SALAD

    Bowl up the loaded salad. Top with the charred pineapple fingers and sprinkle over the remaining sultanas. Garnish with a sprinkle of the sesame seeds and the remaining mint. Drizzle over the mint-yoghurt mix. Enjoy being a Chef!
