1. To make the butter chicken strips, toss the chicken in 1 T olive oil, the butter chicken spice, yoghurt and lemon, then pan-fry in batches for 3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside in the pan.

2. To make the smashed chickpeas, combine all the ingredients and mash roughly using a potato masher. Adjust the seasoning.

3. To assemble, cut a slit from the centre of each roti to the edge, then fill each quarter of the roti with one of the components. Add the pickled onions, cucumber and coriander, then fold up.
