Steps

40 minutes

1

Marinate the chicken with all the spices, yogurt and tomato paste for minimum 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight.
2

Wash and dry the salad greens, toss in onions, olives, cheese if using, peanuts and sprinkle some salt and pepper. Keep aside.
3

Blend the pear or apple with vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and lemon until smooth. Add some water if you prefer a thinner dressing.
4

In a heavy bottomed pan, heat a tbsp oil and grill the pawpaw for about a minute, regularly tossing it. Use the same pan to grill the chicken on skewers until done and having reddish brown char marks. You can directly grill without skewers too.
5

To serve, toss in the greens, followed by the pawpaw and the chicken skewers. Drizzle the vinaigrette. Relish immediately. Enjoy !!
