Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves - 4
Prep Time - 10 mins
Cook Time - 10-15 mins
Ingredients
1 kg chicken thighs, cut into strips
1 jar Patak's Tikka Masala paste
½ cup Jalna Greek yogurt
Salsa
1 red onion, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1 green chili, diced
½ bunch of coriander, chopped
1 lime, juice
Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of salt
Yogurt Sauce
1 cup Jalna Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tsp Coles cumin powder
Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of salt
Garnish (Optional)
8 flour tortillas
¼ white cabbage, shaved
Sliced green chili
Method
In a bowl, mix together the chicken, Patak's Tikka Masala paste, and yogurt. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Allow it to marinate for 4-6 hours.
In a separate bowl, prepare the salsa by mixing together the diced red onion, cucumber, green chili, chopped coriander, lime juice, and a drizzle of Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, combine the yogurt sauce ingredients: yogurt, grated garlic, cumin powder, a drizzle of Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Heat a BBQ until it begins to smoke. Brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Cook the marinated chicken thighs on the grill until they are charred and cooked through.
Serve the taco ingredients sharing-style on the table. Provide the cooked chicken, salsa, yogurt sauce, flour tortillas, shaved white cabbage, and sliced green chili. Allow each person to assemble their own tacos according to their preferences.
