- In a bowl, combine chicken, tandoori masala and curd. Coat the chicken well, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to marinate.
- Preheat the grill on medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side. Remove on a plate, let the chicken pieces rest for at least 5 minutes, and then slice them into thick strips.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together and refrigerate until serving time. In a salad bowl, arrange the lettuce leaves and top with tandoori chicken, cucumber, onion, jalapenos, cashews and coriander.
- Pour the dressing over the salad while serving and give it a gentle toss. Serve immediately along with salted potato wedges or chips.
Recipe Tip If you don't like your salad to be too spicy, deseed the jalapenos before chopping them. You can also add pitted Kalamata olives instead of jalapenos.
