Kate B

Juice of ½ lemon

2 garlic cloves, minced (I used three, because it's garlic people!)

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp paprika (I use smoked because it has the best flavour)

¼ tsp ground coriander

1 ½ tsp ground cumin

Pinch of ground cloves (⅛ tsp)

1 tsp dried oregano

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6). This can also be made with 2 to 3 chicken breasts if you prefer)

1 tbsp olive oil, plus more to coat the pan

subheading: Rice:

1tbsp olive oil

½ tsp ground turmeric

¾ tsp ground cumin

2 C basmati or any long-grain rice (I have found this to be a lot of rice, so even 1 to 1.5 C would suffice)

3 ½ C chicken stock (I've used 1 to 2 C more as it this isn't really enough given the quantity of rice suggested)

1 tsp kosher salt

subheading: Sauce:

1C minus 2 tbsp plain yogurt

2 tbsp mayo

1 tbsp white vinegar

½ tsp granulated sugar

½ tsp kosher salt

subheading: Assembly:

½ head iceberg lettuce, chopped (or leafy green tastes good!)

2 medium tomatoes, chopped (or cherry tomatoes halved)

½ small red onion, chopped

kosher salt & ground pepper, to taste

1 tbsp hot sauce (I use Frank's Hot Sauce....duh)

1 tbsp harissa

1 tbsp olive oil

Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

3 large pocketless pita breads, toasted and halved
