Preparation tips
- Marinate the chicken thighs in the spiced yogurt mixture for at least an hour, or overnight if possible, so the garam masala and ginger penetrate deep into the meat for maximum tikka flavour.
- Use the TM7 bowl to make the cooling yogurt drizzle while the chicken rests, then wipe it quickly with a damp cloth between tasks to keep the flavours clean and separate.
- Char the naan breads briefly in a dry frying pan just before serving and scatter fresh coriander and sliced red onion over the chicken for crunch, colour and a fresh contrast to the warm spices.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the chicken thighs with thick chunks of cauliflower and chickpeas, coat them in the same yogurt-spice marinade and roast until golden, then pile onto the naan with the yogurt drizzle.
- Festive variation: swap the naan for mini flatbreads and serve as party bites with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, turning this main course into an elegant Indian-inspired sharing platter.
