  1. SWEET POTATOES & PREP STEP

    Coat the sweet potato chunks in oil and season. Air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). While they are cooking, prep your salad. Rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Rinse and roughly chop the parsley. Rinse and halve the baby tomatoes and roughly dice the cucumber. Peel and grate the fresh ginger. Set aside.

  2. NOMU-SPICED CHICKEN

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices. Season and set aside.

  3. CREAMY CURRY SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). Fry the ginger and curry paste for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat. To a bowl, add the sweet buttermilk. Whisk in the fried curry paste and chopped parsley through the sweet buttermilk and set aside.

  4. TASTY TIKKA-INSPIRED MEAL

    Plate up the shredded salad leaves. Top with the sweet potato chunks, the halved tomatoes and the diced cucumber and the chicken strips. Drizzle over the tikka dressing and season if necessary. Dive in, Chef!
