Ingredients

  • 85g/3oz Greek-style yoghurt
  • 65g/2¼oz mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp onion granules
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 ball stem ginger (optional)
  • 250g/9oz cooked chicken, roughly chopped into small pieces
  • ½ small red pepper, finely diced
  • 1 lemon
  • sea salt
  • 4 slices thick-cut white sourdough bread
  • green salad
  • bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • Bombay mix (optional)

Method

  1. Combine the yoghurt, mayonnaise, onion and garlic granules, garam masala and turmeric in a bowl.
  2. Finely grate half the stem ginger (if using) into the bowl before finely chopping the remainder and adding to the bowl, too. Mix well to make a tikka sauce.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the sauce along with the red pepper. Squeeze in a little lemon juice, add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
  4. Spoon onto slices of bread or green salad before sprinkling generously with chopped coriander. Sprinkle with Bombay mix for added crunch, if you like.
