Makes 6

Ingredients

For the naan:
  • 1 sachet instant dried yeast
  • 125ml warm water
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 250g plain flour
  • 3 tbsp. Greek yoghurt
  • A pinch of salt
For the chicken tikka:
  • 30g ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 green chillies (deseeded)
  • 1 tsp. turmeric
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ½ tsp. chilli powder
  • 30ml rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil (for brushing)
  • 3 chicken breasts (cubed)
To serve:
  • Greek yoghurt
  • Coriander
  • Red onion

Method

  1. For the naans, combine the warm water with yeast and honey in a mug or small bowl and leave for 5 minutes to activate.
  2. Then, combine flour with a teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl and create a well using the end of a wooden spoon or spatula.
  3. Add Greek yoghurt and the yeast mixture to the well and gradually mix the flour in from the sides.
  4. Once combined, knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes then cover and set aside for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
  5. Divide your dough into 6 balls and shape into naans using your hands on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan to a very high heat and place your naan on the pan. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, brushing with some coconut oil each side.
  7. For the chicken tikka, place all tikka marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.
  8. Transfer the marinade to a bowl with the chicken breast cubes and mix in until chicken is completely coated. You can marinate your chicken at this point if you have time, if not go straight to the griddle.
  9. Heat your griddle to a high heat and add your chicken — leave to grill for 5 minutes before you start flipping the pieces. Brush coconut oil over your chicken throughout this process.
  10. To serve, add the chicken tikka to naans, top with Greek yoghurt, coriander and slices of red onion, then fold into a delicious chicken tikka naan roll. Enjoy!
