Chicken Tandoori Bowl with Minty Indian Yogurt Dressing Recipe Made Stepwise

  • Step 1: Prepare the Minty Indian Yogurt Dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine the full-fat yogurt, mayonnaise, coriander, cumin, and julienned mint. Add the juice of one lemon, and mix well. Gradually stir in the water until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Step 2: Cook the Chicken. If you’re using raw chicken breast, season it with store-bought tandoori sauce or paste. Cook in a pan or grill until fully cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Once cooked, cube the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the sliced cabbage and broccoli for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still bright in color. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 4: Prepare Cauliflower Rice. If you’re using store-bought cauliflower rice, heat it as per the package instructions. If making your own, pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains, then steam or sauté briefly until tender.
  • Step 5: Assemble the Bowl. In a serving bowl, layer warm cauliflower rice at the bottom. Add the cubed chicken on top, followed by the blanched cabbage and broccoli. Drizzle generously with the minty yogurt dressing. Top with golden raisins and cashews for a delightful crunch.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! Serve your Chicken Tandoori Bowl warm and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Cooked chicken and vegetables can be frozen for up to 2 months; store yogurt dressing separately.
  • Add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicier dish.
