Method

  1. Whisk together Greek Yoghurt, Garam masala or spice mix, Brown Sugar, Garlic, Ginger, Tomato Paste, Chilli powder, and Salt until smooth.

  2. Marinate drumsticks by rubbing the Tandoori mix all over them. Can leave overnight but even half an hour is fine.

  3. Cook in the air fryer for about 12 minutes each side on 200 degrees until crisp.

  4. Massage the Rice packet to separate the rice. In a medium heat frying pan, melt the Butter then add the Rice and frozen mixed Vegetables to sauté.

  5. In a bowl, mix the Greek Yogurt, Lemon juice and Salt until smooth.

  6. To serve, split the rice into four bowls with two Tandoori Chicken drumsticks in each. Add a large tablespoon of Greek Yogurt to each bowl. Delicious with a sprinkle of fresh Coriander.
