Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 500g chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tikka masala paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • Salt to taste

For the Salad

  • 2 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cucumber, sliced

  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mint chutney
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken

  2. Cook the Chicken

    Grill the marinated chicken pieces until well cooked and slightly charred. Let it cool and then cut into bite-sized pieces.

  3. Prepare the Dressing

    Whisk together yogurt, mint chutney, lemon juice, chaat masala, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  4. Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine salad greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and onions. Add the grilled chicken pieces.

  5. Finish and Serve

    Drizzle with the prepared dressing, garnish with mint, coriander leaves, and pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

Variations

  • Low-Carb Version: Skip the naan and add more greens
