Equipment
- large frying pan
Ingredients
- 400 g diced chicken
- 1 medium onion peeled and sliced
- 1 small red chilli deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp chaat masala seasoning powder
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 200 g cucumber cut into 1cm dice
- 3 salad tomatoes diced
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves stalks removed and roughly chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 lemon wedges to garnish
- low-calorie cooking spray
Instructions
- Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the chicken and fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. There should be no signs of pinkness inside and the juices should run clear. Remove from the frying pan and set aside.
- Add the onion, chilli, garlic paste and ginger paste to the frying pan. Stir and fry over a medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent but not browned.
- Add the cooked chicken, garam masala, chaat masala seasoning powder and tomato puree, stir, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cucumber, tomatoes and coriander leaves. Taste and season well with salt and black pepper.
- Place on small plates and add a lemon wedge to each. Squeeze the lemon wedges over just before eating. Serve with rice and a dollop of natural yoghurt or raita (optional) or other accompaniments of your choice.

Notes
Tip: If you prefer things to be spicy, you can leave the seeds in the red chilli, and this will increase the heat.
