Tandoori Chicken Appetiser Spoons

  • 500g Chicken Mini Fillets

  • 3 Tablespoons of Greek Yogurt

  • Half a Lemon

  • Half a Lime

  • 2 cloves Garlic

  • 3cm piece of Ginger

  • 1 Green Chilli

  • 1 tsp Salt

  • 1 tsp Garam Masala

  • 1 tsp Paprika

  • 0.5 tsp Tandoori Masala

  • 2 tbsp Sunflower Oil

  • 4 tbsp Greek Yogurt

  • 1 tsp Chaat Masala

  • 2 tbsp Coriander (finely chopped)

METHOD

  • Place the chicken into a bowl and add the yoghurt, the lemon and the lime.

  • Grind the garlic, ginger and chilli into a paste in a herb mill. If you don't have one, just chop these ingredients finely.

  • Put the ginger, garlic and chilli into the bowl with the chicken.

  • Add the salt, garam masala, paprika and tandoori masala.

  • Stir the chicken, making sure that all the ingredients are mixed well.

  • Cover the bowl with cling film and leave it in the fridge over night.

  • Remove from the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking.

  • Heat a griddle pan on a moderate setting and add 1 tbsp of oil.

  • Once the pan has heated up, add half the chicken and cook until golden brown and the flip the fillets to cook them on the other side. Remove them onto a plate.

  • Repeat this process with the remaining chicken.

  • Mix the 4 tbsp of yoghurt in a small bowl with the chaat masala and 1 tbsp of the chopped coriander.

  • Allow the chicken mini fillets to rest for 5 Minutes then serve with the yoghurt dressing in a bowl as an accompaniment. 

  • If you plan to serve them as an appetiser, as I do, then slice up the mini fillets into small pieces.

  • Place onto appetiser spoons and top each appetiser spoon with half a teaspoon of spicy yogurt. Place some of the finely chopped coriander on top of the yoghurt.
