Preparation Method

Total Time 35 Mins
  1. 01

    In a wide ceramic dish, whisk Greek yoghurt, Herb & More tandoori spice rub, garlic, ginger, half the lemon juice, and sea salt. Coat chicken thighs generously, cover, and marinate for 8 to 12 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 02

    Rinse lentils and simmer in unsalted water with a bay leaf for 20 minutes until tender with a pleasant toothsome bite. Drain thoroughly.

  3. 03

    Toss the warm lentils immediately with extra virgin olive oil, remaining lemon juice, Herb & More ground cumin, sea salt, shaved red onions, and cherry tomatoes.

  4. 04

    Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over high flame until smoking hot. Sear chicken thighs for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until charred on the edges and cooked through to 75°C internal temperature.

  5. 05

    Rest chicken on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then carve against the grain into thick cutlets.

  6. 06

    Spoon dressed warm lentils onto serving platters, top with chargrilled tandoori chicken, and scatter fresh coriander leaves over top.
