¾ cup reduced-fat natural yogurt*
2 tsp garam marsala
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground paprika
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 tsp honey

400g chicken tenderloins
1 head of butter lettuce (or similar soft green leaf lettuce) leaves washed

You can swap:
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, spices, ginger, honey and lemon juice. Add the chicken and allow to marinate, covered in the fridge for 2 hours.
Step 2
Pre-heat oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper
Step 3
Lay the chicken tenderloins on the tray so they don’t touch. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 4
To make the dressing, place all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine.
Step 5
Lay the lettuce leaves on a large platter then top with the tomato, cucumber and Tandoori chicken. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.
Food safety tip: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, chicken needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
