The
Tefal ActiFry
New Year’s Revolution Challenge
A New Year and a new diet! Yes, like most of the population post-Christmas I am back on a diet and am trying to watch what I eat. But, being a food writer, blogger and recipe developer I love food and I’m always cooking, creating and baking, and, I enjoy my food so I’m trying to eat healthier without making it boring or uninteresting. As regular readers will know I use my Tefal ActiFry a lot to achieve healthy meals as you can cook with less fat. And when Tefal ActiFry challenged me to come up with a new recipe for their New Year’s Revolution Challenge, I was keen to participate! My recipe for Healthy Indian Style Chicken Kebabs for this challenge is shared below in a printable recipe card, AND I’ve shared a video of myself cooking the dish too! So why not sit back and let me talk you through how I cooked and served my New Year’s Revolution recipe. My videos are shared below along with the printable recipe card and some static images of my completed dish. Do let me know if you make my recipe and how it went down with you and your family. Karen

Note
Healthy Indian Style Chicken Kebabs - Low in fat but full of flavour, these kebabs are cooked in an ActiFry Genius XL machine in half an hour.
Directions
| Step 1 | Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add the diced chicken breast, allow to marinate for at least 1 hour. |
| Step 2 | Add the oil to the ActiFry and then the chopped onions, pepper and garlic. Set the machine to 10 minutes and press the cook button. |
| Step 3 | After the 10 minutes has elapsed, add the diced chicken pieces with some of the yogurt marinade but not all of it. Use a slotted spoon for ease. Set the time for 15 minutes, and press the cook button. Check the chicken after 12 or 13 minutes, and if it is cooked then stop the machine. |
| Step 4 | Remove the pan from the machine and scatter chopped coriander leaves over the chicken kebabs. Serve the kebabs on a bed of fresh salad with raita and mini naan breads. |

It looks delicous. As I am trying to keep weight on my husband (who is disabled) I would make this in a low oven or saute it. But we love Chicken Tikka, and this hit that spot!
