Method for Tandoori Chicken with Radish Salad:
- Skin chicken and cut into 8 pieces. In each piece make two deep slashes with a sharp knife to let flavours permeate.
- Put yoghurt in bowl, with garlic, ginger, tomato puree, lemon juice, ground coriander seeds, garam masala , salt to taste (I don’t out any in!) & 225 ml water. Mix well together and pour over chicken, rub well into cuts and leave at least 3 hrs (or overnight).
- Heat up oven as hot as possible, put chicken pieces on oiled tray (I use foil on it or that silicon sheet and no oil) Cook fro 15 – 20 minutes until thickest part when pierced has clear not pink juices. Some small blackish bits are fine but don’t let it burn completely.
- While chicken is cooking mix up salad ingredients and arrange on serving plates.
- Serve chicken pieces on bed of salad, with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
Plain chapattis make a good accompaniment and are also fat free.
I used to grow ” mooli” radish , & often made either a
casserole, or put them in a stew, & as I grew ” bolder ” I would steam various veg ( etc carrots / spinach , mix each ” colour with some egg & fresh herbs , then ” layer in a loaf tin , Into a ” bain marie” & into oven
180c approx 20 / 30 minutes.
