Tandoori Chicken

This aromatic Tandoori chicken is a superb choice for anyone looking for a bold, spice-infused meal that is both satisfying and healthy. By using a base of thick Greek-style yoghurt and fresh herbs, the chicken stays incredibly succulent while roasting at a high temperature. The vindaloo paste provides a deep, complex warmth that permeates the meat, creating that classic charred finish we all love from traditional Indian cuisine.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein, making it an excellent addition to a balanced weekly menu. Serving it with fresh mint and coriander keeps the flavours bright and helps to balance the heat. For a complete meal, pair these tender chicken legs with a side of steamed greens or a refreshing cucumber raita to keep the meal light and nutritious.
