What You'll Need

How To Make It

- Pair your finished dish with rice, some flatbread, or a side of veggies for a full meal.
- Step 4:
- Cook whatever you've marinated how you like it—try grilling, roasting, or cooking in a pan for best flavor.
- Step 3:
- Slather the mix on chicken thighs, tofu chunks, cauliflower pieces, beef cuts, or whatever you fancy. Let it sit for 30 minutes or keep it in the fridge overnight to soak up more flavor.
- Step 2:
- Mix everything together until it's nice and smooth with no lumps.
- Step 1:
- Grab a bowl and throw in the curry powder, turmeric, lime juice, olive oil, and coconut yoghurt.
Storage and Serving Ideas
- Store any leftover mix in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 3 days.
- For the tastiest results, cook your marinated foods on the grill, in the oven, or in a frying pan.
- Let your foods soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, but if you want more flavor, leave it overnight in the fridge.
Quick Tips
- If you want some heat, throw in a bit of cayenne or some red pepper flakes.
- While this works wonders on chicken thighs, it's just as good with tofu or cauliflower slices if you don't eat meat.
