Instructions

1.In a bowl, mix yoghurt and tandoori paste. Add in chicken breast and coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for no less than 2 hours.
2.Add all ingredients for the tahini sauce in a blender. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate.
3.Prepare the moutabelle by cutting the eggplant/aubergine into slices. Brush with olive oil and season with salt. Grill over high heat until fully cooked. Allow eggplant/aubergine to cool enough to touch.
4.Peel the grilled eggplants/aubergines, and transfer the flesh to a blender or food processor. Add in the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. You may add a little warm water if it is too thick to process.
5.Place the chicken breasts onto a preheated 250C/480F grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, basting regularly with olive oil.
6.Heat the pieces of tortilla over the grill until surface starts to bubble.
7.Lay each tortilla on a chopping board spread a tablespoon of the moutabelle on one side. Top with lettuce, tandoori chicken, tomato, onions and cucumber. Drizzle with the garlic tahini paste and roll to close. Secure with bamboo skewers and enjoy.
