What you need

  • For the chicken tikka:
  • 600g chicken breast cut into bitesize pieces
  • 1 x lemon (for juice)
  • 2 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
  • 200g Greek yoghurt
  • 140g Primula Original Cheese
  • 4 tbsp tikka spice mix
  • 1tsp sugar
  • Pickled pink onions:
  • 1 x red onion
  • 2 x limes
  • Pinch of salt and sugar
  • To serve:
  • 6 x Naan breads (homemade or bought)
  • Iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • Cucumber, sliced and quartered
  • Tomatoes, deseeded and sliced
  • Coriander
  • Pink pickled onions

How you do it

  1. Prepare the chicken.
  2. Pre-marinade the chicken in lemon juice and the minced ginger and garlic for 20 minutes.
  3. Add in the remaining ingredients for the tikka, mix well and leave to marinade for an hour.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the pickled pink onions.
  5. Cut the red onion into slices and cover with boiling water.
  6. After 1 minute, drain the onions and add the juice of 2 limes with a pinch of salt and sugar.
  7. Stir and leave to pickle – they’ll start to turn a lovely vibrant pink.
  8. Next up, line a baking tray (or Air Fryer tray) with foil and lightly oil.
  9. Place the chicken on the foil, leaving space around each piece.
  10. Cook under a medium grill for 15-20 minutes (Air fry 180C), turning at regular intervals to get a even cook all around the chicken.
  11. For the last 5 minutes (Air fry 200C), turn up the grill to char the tikka (keep turning to prevent it from burning).
  12. To serve take a warm naan, add a handful of shredded lettuce and top with cucumber and tomato slices.
  13. Add the chicken tikka and pink pickled onion.
  14. Finish with a good Squeeze of Primula Original Cheese and roughly chopped coriander. Enjoy!
