2 Place the chicken in a large zip-lock bag. Pour the yoghurt marinade over and massage into the chicken. Make sure it’s covered all over. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3 Salad Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease and line a large oven tray. Combine the chickpeas, onion, oil and garam masala in a medium bowl. Spread on the prepared tray and roast for 20 minutes or until the chickpeas are golden and the onion is tender. Leave to cool.
