Chef’s tips

• This dish will serve four as a delicious starter.
• Use curry paste if you don’t have all the spices, or add grated fresh ginger and crushed garlic for extra flavour.
• You can mix the chicken, spices and yogurt together in a food bag and keep in the fridge for a few hours before you start cooking, which helps the flavours to infuse.
• Spicy dishes do not usually need any added salt, which means they’re better for your heart.
• Skinless chicken is rich in protein and has almost half the fat and saturated fat of skin-on chicken.
