Preparation
Roast the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and juice the lime. Thinly slice the scallion, separating the white bottom and green top. Finely chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Roughly chop the cashews. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ⅓ of the lime juice, the remaining spices and S&P.
Cook the chicken
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken*, tandoori paste and ½ the remaining lime juice. Cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Make the cashew-cilantro relish & slaw
Meanwhile, in a second medium bowl, combine the cashews, cilantro, lime zest, ½ the white bottom of the scallion, the remaining lime juice, a drizzle of oil and S&P. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, ½ the cashew-cilantro relish, ½ the spiced mayo and the remaining white bottom of the scallion.
Toast the buns
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Toast the buns, cut-sides down, 1 to 2 min., until golden.
Plate your dish
Divide the potatoes and bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with the remaining spiced mayo and cilantro-cashew relish, the chicken, a spoonful of the slaw and a bun top. Serve any remaining slaw on the side and top with the green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
