MARINATION TIME!
Place ½ the yoghurt, the tandoori rub and some seasoning in a bowl. Mix until fully combined. Add in the chicken and toss until fully coated in the marinade. Place in the fridge and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
RICE & SHINE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
RAVISHING RAITA
Grate the cucumber and place on a clean tea towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture. Place the drained grated cucumber in a bowl and add in the remaining yoghurt, ½ the chopped coriander, the juice from 1 lemon wedge and a splash of water. Season and mix until fully combined.
FUNKY FRIED RICE
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add in the grated garlic and fry for about 1 minute, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Toss through the shredded cabbage and carrot and fry for about 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir through the cooked rice, some seasoning and some lemon zest. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
JUST WING IT!
Place a nonstick pan or a griddle pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the marinated chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and starting to char. Remove from the heat on completion and set aside to rest for 3 minutes.
MOUTHWATERING, CHEF!
