The clock
- Start to finish
- at least 33 min2 of 4 steps give no time
- Needs you
- none given
- If you get it wrong
- Narrow — the tomato paste and yoghurt darken faster than the chicken cooks, so the turn at halfway is the whole difference
- What you'll wash
- Two things — the marinating bowl, the basket
- Does it keep
- 3 days — the chicken holds and the char goes soft, so it is better cold in bread than through the basket
