💬 Q&A

Q1: Can I meal prep this bowl?
Yes! Store the components separately (chicken, potatoes, veggies, sauce) in airtight containers for up to 3–4 days. Reheat everything except the yogurt sauce.

Q2: Can I make it dairy-free?
Absolutely. Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or cashew cream.

Q3: Can I air-fry the potatoes?
Yes — cook them at 190°C (375°F) for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway for even crisping.

Q4: What spices can I change up?
Try Moroccan seasoning, Cajun spice, or garam masala for a different vibe.

Q5: What’s a good vegetarian version?
Swap the chicken for chickpeas, tofu, or paneer — still delicious with the same spices!
