- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 medium-sized russet potato, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup peas
- 8 frozen pakoras I like the Spice it up Foods brand
Chicken marinade
- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt (Greek or low fat is fine!)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp garam masala (sub in cardamom or if you're really in a pinch, leave out altogether and double the ground ginger)
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground dried ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
Aloo gobi spice
- 1 tsp curry
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground dried ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix chicken together with marinade ingredients and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Toss cauliflower, potatoes and red onion with the ingredients under the aloo gobi spice heading, along with olive oil on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Mix peas into cauliflower mixture.
Add chicken and pakoras to the same baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, turning pakoras and tossing chicken halfway through.
Remove from oven, and serve!
Nutritional info does not include pakoras as this varies by brand. If using the Spice it Up brand, add 80 calories for every 2 pakoras.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days then microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freeze the chicken cooked or raw in the marinade for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then cook or reheat as normal.
