Method

1. In a bowl place the tandoori paste with yoghurt, garlic and ginger. 
2. If the chicken is very thick give it a belt between some cling film with a rolling pin or meat mullet so it is nearly even.  Cut into long lengths and marinate in the tandoori / yoghurt mixture in the fridge.  Make sure all chicken is covered with mixture.  Marinate for at least ½ hour, more if time prevails….you can do this maybe in the morning ready for dinner.
3. Spray then heat griddle pan or BBQ on high heat, around 5-10 minutes. 
4. Turn heat to med-high then cook chicken for around 10 minutes.
5. Whilst chicken is cooking arrange salad on plates. 
6. Mix the dressing ingredients together.
7. Once chicken is cooked take off heat and sit on a board.  Squeeze ½ lime onto chicken. You can either slice the chicken and arrange on to salad or place chicken directly on top of salad.
8. Drizzle yoghurt dressing all over the salad and chicken.
