Tandoori Chicken: An Indian classic for those who like things a bit spicy.
Begin by cutting the chicken, either in slices or cubes and placing in a large bowl.
Add the tandoori paste to the chicken and most of your yoghurt, putting some yoghurt aside to add to the meal at the end.
Stir together well and let sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to the boil, stirring while you add the rice. Cover with lid and let simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until rice is soft and fluffy.
In a large, oiled frying pan or wok, bring to a medium heat and add the vegetables, tossing frequently as they soften and cook.
Meanwhile, while the vegetables are cooking, bring another oiled frying pan to medium heat and add the chicken. Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through.
Serve up the rice with vegetables and top with tandoori chicken and left over yoghurt.
