In a bowl, mix the yogurt, tandoori paste, cornflour and some seasoning. Add the chicken and stir to coat.

Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat, spray with the low- calorie cooking spray and cook the chicken for 15 minutes, turning once until cooked through, if you don’t have a griddle pan the chicken can be grilled for 12 – 15 minutes turning halfway until golden brown and cooked through, meanwhile, toast the pittas and sprit in half.

Slice the cooked chicken breasts on an angle. Stuff the pittas with the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and coriander.

Serve with lemon wedges, mango chutney and a drizzle of natural yogurt.

👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Note; If you have time, marinate the chicken in the yogurt mix overnight for extra flavour
