Stage 1

  1. Prick the chicken breasts (both sides) in several places with the tines of a fork and make 3 diagonal slashes on one side of each breast.

  2. Put the chicken in a bowl.

  3. Add the required amount of Mr Huda's Tikka Paste, oil, yoghurt and some coriander.

  4. Mix well in to the chicken (use a disposable glove when mixing to prevent staining your hand).

  5. Leave to marinate for at least 6 - 8 hours or overnight in the fridge.

Stage 2

  1. When cooking under grill, place on a grill pan (to allow the moisture from the chicken to be kept separate).

  2. Baste the chicken with any excess marinade (reserve a little for basting throughout the cooking time).

  3. Preheat the grill to high heat, then grill for 15 minutes or until cooked, turning and basting once (try not to over-cook the chicken breasts).

  4. Once cooked, garnish with fresh salad, lemon wedges, fresh coriander and serve immediately with mint and tamarind yoghurt sauce.
