It has been ages since I posted a recipe and this one is just great.. I found it at the Dentist while my son was getting his teeth cleaned and polished. I was flipping through the mags and just chilling. (Thank goodness it wasn't me getting the dental work) I tried taking a photo of the recipe with my very basic mobile phone, which didn't turn out very well, so some of this maybe from memory.. I have already made this a couple of days ago, so I do know it tastes good, actually great and it's low fat!!! Yes!! Another great fact is that my kids loved it, even my fussy daughter, so it was a bit of a hit.
2 Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup Tandoori paste (Sharwoods)
1 cup natural yogurt, Greek style
Topping
1 cup coriander leaves
1cup mint leaves
Juice of one lemon or lime
1-2 Tablespoons maple syrup
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1 small green chilli (optional)
Combine the Tandoori paste and natural yogurt and place the chicken breasts into the mixture to cover well.
Place the chicken under a grill or barbeque or place in the oven to cook through. The cooking process should only take about 10-15 minutes or until the flesh is white.
If you have a food processor you can blitz all the topping ingredients together. You can add more maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter but the coconut does a pretty good job.
Cut the chicken into slices and place the topping over the chicken. The original recipe had green beans with the meal, but I think a green salad would suffice.
This is a great dish when you want to have something with a bit of spice, but without the huge hit of fat that usually goes with a great curry..
Enjoy!
