Ingredients

  • 600g boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 4 tbsp natural yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp tikka curry paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • fresh coriander, chopped, to serve
  • lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Mix the yoghurt, tikka paste, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt and oil in a large bowl.

  2. Add the chicken pieces and turn until fully coated. Cover and marinate for at least 10 minutes while the air fryer heats, or up to 8 hours in the fridge.

  3. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.

  4. Place half the chicken in the basket in a single layer, shaking off any excess marinade, and add half the onion wedges.

  5. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes, turning the pieces halfway, until lightly charred and cooked through with no pink meat.

  6. Keep warm under foil and cook the second batch in the same way.

  7. Scatter with coriander and serve with lemon wedges.
