Instructions

1. In a bowl, marinate the chicken breast with turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, black pepper powder, yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Let it rest for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it cool before slicing into thin strips.
3. While the chicken cools, prepare the salad base by combining diced cucumber, diced tomato, shredded cabbage, and chopped green chili in a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the sliced chicken to the salad base and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle freshly chopped coriander leaves and roasted peanuts (if using) for added crunch and flavor.
5. Serve the Zesty Malabar Chicken Salad immediately, garnished with a drizzle of lemon juice for an extra zing.
