Steps

1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, garam masala, salt, and cumin powder to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) or prepare a grill. Place the marinated chicken on a baking tray or grill and cook for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.
4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the chaat toppings: combine diced red onion, tomato, cucumber, and chopped coriander in a bowl.
5. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes and then cut it into smaller pieces if desired.
6. To assemble the chaat, place the cooked tandoori chicken on a serving plate. Top with the mixed vegetables, drizzle with mint and tamarind chutneys, and sprinkle sev and pomegranate seeds on top.
7. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately for a fresh and delicious experience.
