GO! :: Instructions

  1. For The Chicken: in a bowl, melt the coconut oil and mix together the tikka paste ingredients, salt and pepper.
  2. Cut the chicken thighs into strips and coat in the tikka paste.
  3. Place a large skillet over a high heat fry the chicken tikka for 20 mins, turning every few minutes to ensure the chicken cooks through. Use a spit guard to prevent fat splashing onto your cooker.
  4. Meanwhile, chop the scallions, fresh chilli, garlic and tomatoes, add to the pan halfway through with 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. Continue to sauté while you prepare the dressing and salad.
  5. For The Dressing: to your food processor, add the fresh cilantro, lemon juice, sour cream (or coconut cream) and turmeric. Blend until smooth.
  6. To Serve: Divide the spinach leaves across 4 dishes, using a vegetable peeler, peel over the cucumber and top with the chicken tikka pieces. Pour over all of the juices from the skillet.
  7. Spoon the dressing over the top of the chicken. Enjoy!
