Tandoori Chicken Chapattis are such an amazing dish that are very quick to prepare and tastes so good. The mild mixture of spices from the tandoori paste is perfect and is cooled by the fresh salad. Serve as main dish or as a snack, the flavours will have you wanting more. This recipe contains chicken (believe it or not) but lamb goes perfectly as well.
I make these after a roast chicken meal on Sundays. It is a great way of using up any left over chicken. Last summer I included these in a picnic to great success. I just wrapped them in kitchen paper and foil and they were perfect. The children stopped and had a bite and then went off to play so just folded the foil until the came back for more. No mess, bug free and filling.
Chapattis are made with wholemeal flour so are higher in fibre and ideal for filling snacks. I am on a diet and a diabetic so these are perfect. Using fat free yogurt instead of mayonnaise means far less fat in each chapatti. The combination of tandoori paste and yogurt can also be used with boiled potatoes for a spicy version of potato salad.
