Recipe


Ingredients

  • Turmeric Yoghurt Dressing
  • 1 cup natural yoghurt
  • ½ Lebanese cucumber, peeled & grated
  • 1cm piece fresh turmeric root, grated
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried mint

  • 3 tbsp garam masala dry spice mix
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp melted coconut oil

  • Sprouts or fresh herbs, to garnish (optional)

Method


  • Mix together all dressing ingredients in small bowl. Chill in fridge until ready to serve.
  • Place spice mix and salt on large platter and add 3 tbsp of coconut oil. Mix until wet paste is formed. Add chicken thighs and mix until all chicken is thoroughly coated.
  • Heat oven to 200ºC. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in large frypan over high heat and add half the chicken thighs. Brown on both sides for 2 mins to seal on spice paste.
  • Transfer to large roasting tray and repeat with remaining coconut oil and chicken thighs.
  • Bake chicken for 10 mins until cooked through and juicy. Serve drizzled with dressing and garnished with sprouts or fresh herbs.
