  • For the chutney, blitz all the ingredients into a fine paste.
  • Once the chicken has been marinated, roast in a hot tandoor, or regular oven pre-heated to 180°C, for approximately 7 to 8 minutes, or on a charcoal grill for about 10 minutes.
  • Baste with butter and roast again for 3-4 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with the chaat masala.
  • Cut the chicken into strips and prepare the filling using baby lettuce leaves and mint chutney and fold inside hot naan bread.
