Preparation
Marinate the chicken using the spices and oil listed above
Cook the chicken either by pan frying or grilling until the chicken is fully cooked all the way through
If grilling cook chicken for 6 - 8 mins each side, brush oil onto the chicken as it cooks to stop it being too dry and baste with the juices
Cool the chicken down and shred/pull using either a hand mixer, two forks or your hands
Dd the mayo, yoghurt and ground white pepper/extra tandoori powder if needed
If there are any juices left in the tray after cooking the chicken, add that back in too, this helps moisten the shredded chicken
