Preparation Method :
- For the yogurt sauce, add the salt and garlic paste to the yogurt and whisk well. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Spoon the mixture into a piece of muslin placed over a bowl, gather the edges and squeeze tightly to get a thick, smooth yogurt sauce. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/ Gas Mark 6.
- Slit the chicken breasts lengthways without cutting through. Drizzle oil over them, sprinkle salt and thread them in folds onto a skewer.
- Place the skewer on a rotisserie. Place the rotisserie in the preheated oven and cook for twenty minutes.
- Remove from the oven and slice the chicken into thin pieces while still on the skewer.
- Toast the pita breads lightly on a tawa or in an oven. Slit them open to form pockets.
- For the salad mix together the onion, tomato, jalapenos, salt, tahini, yogurt and fresh mint.
- Stuff the pita pocket with some of the sliced chicken mixture and top with the onion-tomato salad.
- Serve immediately with the yogurt sauce.
