CHICKEN TIKKA WITH BASMATI AND RAITA
Steps:
- 1. Turn chicken into a large glass dish or plastic bag. Squeeze juice from lemon. Stir yogurt with lemon juice, ginger, oil, garlic, both masalas, salt and cayenne. Pour over chicken; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or up to a day. 2. To prepare raita, julienne cucumber on a mandoline or grate. Mix with salt in a sieve or colander; drain for 30 to 60 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze out most of the moisture. Place shreds in a bowl. Stir in yogurt. Cover and refrigerate until needed. 3. About an hour before serving, rinse rice in a sieve under cold running tap water. Turn into large saucepan with measured water and coconut milk. Let stand 30 minutes. Bring to a boil over high heat, stir and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 15 minutes. Turn off heat. Let stand 15 minutes without lifting cover or until ready to serve. Fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with almonds or coconut and coriander when serving. 4. Meanwhile, preheat barbecue or broiler. Grill chicken using medium to medium-high heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning as needed, or until cooked. Serve diagonally sliced chicken over hot rice with a dollop of raita
