Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon turmeric, a palmful
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin, 1/2 a palmful
1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/3 palmful
1 lime, zested
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 green apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced into matchsticks
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and very thinly sliced lengthwise
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
4 pieces naan bread, plain or flavored, store-bought, warmed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Combine the yogurt with the spices and zest of lime in a large bowl.
- Cut the chicken into large chunks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Add to the yogurt mixture and toss to coat evenly. Put a small wire rack on a baking sheet or a slotted broiler pan. Arrange the chicken on the rack or slotted pan and roast until charred at the edges and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
- Combine the apple, tomatoes and scallions in a serving bowl. Add the lime juice, oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve with apple-tomato topping and warm bread.
