Ingredients
Tandoori chicken
  • 6 boneless , skinless chicken thighs, each cut in half
  • 1 heaped tablespoon finely grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons greek yogurt
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Coriander-Cashew Relish
  • 50 g cashews , roasted
  • 4 green chillies , deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 35 g peeled fresh ginger , roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup coriander , stems and leaves roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 teaspoons sugar
Salad and to assemble
  • 2 lebanese cucumbers , julienned
  • 2 cups green cabbage , shredded
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • handful of finely chopped mint leaves
  • 125 g greek yogurt
  • salt and pepper
  • 12 brioche sliders (recipe below if you wish to make your own).
Instructions
  1. To marinate the chicken, combine the chicken with all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, stirring to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to a day
  2. To make the relish, blitz the cashews in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Add the remaining ingredients and blitz until a paste forms. If it seems a bit dry, add a splash of water to loosen it up. Taste to adjust seasoning.
  3. Make the yogurt raita by stirring a handful of finely chopped mint leaves and freshly ground salt and pepper to the greek yogurt.
  4. To make the slaw, toss together the shredded cabbage, lebanese cucumber and lemon juice.
  5. When ready to serve, cook the chicken on a medium heat barbecue grill plate or a hot pan for 3-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through (check by cutting open a thick piece of thigh).
  6. Layer up the sliders with a brioche bun, a smear of coriander-cashew relish, a chicken thigh, a dollop of yogurt raita, and top with cabbage & cucumber slaw.
