I love a recipe that’s easily adapted to suit plant-based eaters, and this is no exception. It works just as well with extra firm tofu and plant-based yogurt as it does with chicken thighs and dairy yogurt, so make it the way you prefer!

Directions
- For the yogurt marinade: In a small bowl combine Farm Boy™ Organic Plain Greek Yogurt (or plant-based yogurt), Farm Boy™ Tandoori Seasoning, salt, and lime juice.
- If using chicken: Place marinade and chicken in a mixing bowl or container and stir together to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- If using tofu: Place tofu slices on a platter and coat both sides generously with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
- Drizzle both sides of squash with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, rub with garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place each half cut-side-down on a baking sheet, tucking the garlic cloves underneath to perfume while it roasts.
- Drizzle the second baking sheet with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and arrange the chicken or tofu in a single layer.
- Transfer both trays to oven and bake for 30 minutes, flipping chicken/tofu once at halfway point.
- For the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine remaining Farm Boy™ Organic Plain Greek Yogurt (or plant-based yogurt) and Farm Boy™ Sweet Mango Chutney. Refrigerate until serving.
- Once roasted and slightly cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape flesh of squash into spaghetti strings.
- Transfer to serving dishes and top with the hot chicken/tofu.
- Serve with yogurt sauce and Farm Boy™ Whole Wheat Roti.
