Serves 4

1/2 cup tandoori paste
400g Jalna Greek Style Natural or BioDynamic Yoghourt
4 chicken breast fillets
1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Toast spices in a dry, small frypan until fragrant.
  • Put potatoes in a large, lightly greased baking dish and sprinkle with spices.
  • Place potatoes in a moderate oven (180 degrees C) and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken breasts, cover with lightly greased foil and bake a further 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked (juices are clear and no longer pink when knife is inserted into thickest part of chicken).

  • Serve with pappadums and mango chutney.
  • For an alternate sauce, combine diced Lebanese cucumber and chopped fresh mint with Yoghourt before serving. It can be made several hours ahead and stored, covered, in refrigerator.
