Garam masala (1 tbsp)
Cumin seeds (1 tsp)
Turmeric (1/1 tsp)
Dried red chilli (a pinch)
Salt (1/2 tsp)
Garlic (2 cloves)
Fresh Ginger (a thumb)
Plain yoghurt (4 tbsp)
Lettuce (2 leaves)
Pita bread (2)

Preparations

Measure out your garam masala, cumin, turmeric, salt and chilli into a bowl.

Grate the garlic and ginger into a pulp
Step 3

and add the pulp to your bowl of spices. Mix well with a spoon.

Next add the natural yoghurt and mix well.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and combine well with your hands. Let this sit in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Step 6

Carefully place each chicken piece under a medium/high grill for 5 mins each side. Don't be tempted to pan fry this chicken - it doesn't work well.
