Chicken Tandoori and Moutabelle Wraps
Transform your Indian takeaway into a healthier alternative. The addition of moutabelle, which is a beautiful smoky eggplant/aubergine dip, really lifts the flavour of the tandoori. Marinating the chicken the night before, makes it an easy ‘go to’ dinner when you come home from work.
