- Tandoori Chicken Tenders
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 - 1 1/2 lb chicken tenders (about 8 pieces)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Spinach Raita
- 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- black pepper (to season)
- 6 ounces baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro
- 1/4 cup lightly packed mint leaf
Method
- In a small bowl, mix yogurt, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne, garlic and ginger.
- Put tenders in a resealable ziplock plastic bag and add the yogurt mixture to the bag. Toss to coat the chicken.
- Seal bag, squeezing out excess air and marinate, refrigerated, at least 20 minutes and up to overnight.
- When ready to cook chicken, remove tenders from marinade. Pour panko on to a plate and press tenders into panko, turning, until well coated.
- Heat oil in large skillet until shimmering. Cook tenders, in batches if needed to avoid crowding, 3 to 4 minutes per side (or to 165 degrees). Add additional oil to pan as needed. Transfer tenders to a serving plate. Serve with Spinach Raita and naan bread.
- To Make the Spinach Raita: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet until shimmering. Add spinach and sprinkle with black pepper. Stir-fry until spinach is wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove spinach from pan. Cool and drain, then squeeze out excess moisture. Chop and set aside.
- In food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cilantro, mint, salt and cumin. Process until mixed. Transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in chopped spinach and refrigerate covered until ready to serve.
