Who needs takeaway when you could have this low fat curried chicken that is packed full of flavour. Chicken Tandoori is a mouth watering and delicious dish. It’s quick to cook and the marinade does all the work.
Ingredients
- juice 1 lemon
- 4 tsp paprika
- 2 red onions, finely chopped

For the marinade
- large piece ginger, grated
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- ¾ tsp garam masala
- ¾ tsp ground cumin

Method
- Mix the lemon juice with the paprika and red onions in a large shallow dish. Slash each chicken thigh three times, then turn them in the juice and set aside for 10 mins.
