Bringing a subtle taste of the sub-continent to your table, this dish is full of flavour.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 600 gm skinless chicken breast cut into 2.5cm chunks
- 1¼ cups low-fat plain yoghurt plus ⅓ cup to serve
- 2 Tbsp tandoori spice
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 400 g 2x cans brown lentils rinsed and drained
- ½ head cauliflower
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ½ cup fresh coriander chopped
- 4 pieces wholemeal roti or naan
- 1 lemon sliced, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan or barbecue to medium. Place chicken in a shallow dish. In a bowl, combine tandoori spice with 1¼ cups of yoghurt. Rub tandoori yoghurt mix over chicken, massaging well. Thread chicken onto metal or bamboo (soaked in water) skewers.
- Spray a non-stick, heavy based large pot with oil and place over a medium heat. Add curry powder and gently fry for 1 minutes. Add lentils and ¾ cup of water. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor blitz cauliflower into medium size crumbs. Add to lentils and cook for 5 minutes. Add peas, then cook another 5 minutes.
- While lentils are cooking, grill chicken skewers 3 minutes each side. Mix remaining yoghurt with half the coriander.
- Serve dahl and chicken skewers on a platter with roti, lemon slices and yoghurt on the side. Sprinkle with remaining coriander.
Notes
From: Campbell, Sam; 5pm Panic In (Jul 17) Healthy Food Guide
I served the dahl directly on the naan with the chicken and yoghurt as a dressing on top, as I didn’t have any skewers when I prepared this meal.
Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
