Tandoori-Style Grilled Meat or Prawns

This vibrant tandoori-style grilled meat or prawns recipe is a versatile staple for anyone seeking bold, aromatic flavours without the added sugar or heavy sauces. By using a base of protein-rich Greek yoghurt and fresh aromatics like ginger, garlic, and coriander, the marinade tenderises the meat while infusing it with an authentic smoky depth. It is a fantastic option for a healthy, high-protein dinner that feels truly indulgent.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish relies on natural spices and fresh lime juice rather than shop-bought pastes, which often contain hidden thickeners. It pairs beautifully with a crisp cucumber salad or roasted cauliflower. Whether you opt for succulent lamb, lean chicken, or juicy prawns, this simple preparation method ensures a nutritious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
