Ingredients

Yoghurt chicken

1/2 cup natural yoghurt

2 tablespoon cumin seeds

2 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon chopped ginger

2 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes

500 gram chicken breast fillet, cut into strips

Carrot salad

2 carrots, peeled, cut into matchsticks

3 spring onions, sliced diagonally

1/2 cup coriander leaves

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 small garlic clove, crushed

Method

Yoghurt chicken

1.In a food processor, combine all the ingredients except chicken. Process until smooth, then season.

2.Place chicken in a shallow dish and pour over yoghurt mixture. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

3.Heat a chargrill pan or barbecue on medium. Brush with a little oil and cook chicken for 2-3 minutes each side until just cooked through. Serve with salad.

Carrot salad

4.In a large salad bowl, combine carrot, onion and coriander. In a small jug, whisk oil, vinegar and garlic together. Season to taste. Drizzle over salad when ready to serve.

Chicken tenderloins are easier to cook but will increase the cost of the dish.
