Ingredients

  • 100ml plain yogurt
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tbsp tikka paste
  • 4 raw skinless and boneless
  • chicken thighs
  • Oil for the tray

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/240C Fan/ 475F/Gas Mark 9.
  2. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and tikka paste together and reserve half of it for later.
  3. Turn the chicken thighs in the rest and spread them out on an oiled baking tray. Roast for about 35 minutes until brown and cooked through (a skewer should glide through the flesh easily). Slice each thigh into three.
  4. Warm the naans or chapatis briefly in the microwave or toaster and spread with butter.
    Pile the chicken on to the breads, seasoning with a little salt and pepper. Top with a dollop of the reserved yogurt, the chilli and herbs.
