Notes
Method
-
Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions, garlic and red pepper and fry for about 5 minutes to soften
-
Add the okra and green beans and fry for another 5 minutes
-
Heat Tilda Indian Curry Rice in the microwave for 1 minute and stir into the vegetable mix
-
Add the cashew nuts and coriander and heat through. Season with salt and pepper and serve piping hot
-
For the chicken skewers, mix tandoori masala spices, fat-free yoghurt, garlic, and lemon together in a bowl
-
Cut the chicken breasts into even-sized cubes and marinate into the bowl for at least 10 minutes (for the best results, leave the chicken to marinate in the tandoori yoghurt marinade for 2 hours).
-
Place in a pan or in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Don’t forget to turn the skewers halfway through cooking.
-
Place the skewers alongside the rice and sprinkle some finely chopped coriander on top before serving.
