Cooking Steps

Marinate The Chicken
1

In a medium bowl, combine the free range chicken thigh with 1/2 the Greek yoghurt and the tandoori paste. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate.

Cook The Rice
2

Meanwhile, rinse the basmati rice. Place the rice and the water in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Drain. Season with salt and pepper, cover and set aside.

Get Prepped
3

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the coriander leaves. Zest the lime and cut into four wedges. Peel and crush the garlic. Cut the cucumber in half lengthways and slice into half-moons. Peel and cut the carrot into half-moons.

Prepare The Dressing
4

In a small bowl, combine the remaining Greek yoghurt, coriander, lime zest, juice of 1/2 the lime wedges, garlic, 2/3 of the olive oil and the sugar. Set aside. TIP: It's time to season! Add a pinch of salt and pepper and taste your dressing. If you can't taste all the flavours add a little more until you can.

Cook The Chicken
5

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Cook the chicken thigh for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. Cover with aluminium foil until ready to serve. TIP: Wait for the pan to heat up before you add the chicken, a high heat will ensure your chicken gets a nice golden tandoori crust.

Serve Up
6

Divide the rice between plates and top with tandoori chicken and cucumber and carrot slices. Drizzle over the zingy yoghurt dressing and serve with the remaining lime wedges.
