Ingredients

8 chicken tenderloins

1/4 cup bought tikka masala paste

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon caster sugar

2 lebanese cucumbers, seeded, chopped

200 gram grape tomatoes, halved

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/3 cup mint leaves

4 pieces wholemeal lebanese bread

Method

1.Place chicken and paste in a glass bowl; toss to coat. Thread chicken onto 8 skewers. Heat a char-grill pan over moderate heat. Brush chicken with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Cook for 4 minutes each side or until cooked.

2.Meanwhile, place juice, sugar and remaining oil in a bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add cucumber, tomato, onion and mint; toss to combine.

3.Serve salad with skewers and bread.

Replace tenderloins with sliced chicken thigh fillets. Replace the chicken with diced beef or lamb. Price will vary. Use your favourite Indian curry paste. To prevent bamboo skewers scorching during cooking, soak them in cold water for 20 minutes before using.
