🧄 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
🍋 Juice from ½ lemon
🥛 1 cup sour cream or Fage plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
1- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, plain Greek yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, Shan Tandoori masala, lemon juice, and optional red food coloring. Ensure all chicken pieces are well-coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
2- Prepare the Cucumber Mint Sauce:
- Grate the English cucumber and gently squeeze out any excess liquid.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cucumber with minced garlic, lemon juice, sour cream (or yogurt), dried mint, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
3- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large black non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken, spreading in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and edges are slightly charred.
4- Warm the Naan:
- Heat Trader Joe’s naan in a dry pan or wrapped in foil in the oven until soft and warm.
5- Assemble the Wraps:
- Spread cucumber mint sauce generously over the warmed naan.
- Layer with tandoori chicken, sliced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
- Roll up the naan and serve warm.
