step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Add the onion (1), coriander (1 pack), garam masala (1 tsp), turmeric (1/2 tsp) and 1 tsp of salt to a large mixing bowl.
step 2
Mix the gram flour (350 g), baking powder (1 tsp), ginger paste (2 tsp) and garlic paste (1 tsp) into the bowl, then add just enough water to form a thick, pourable batter (you'll need about 200ml of water).
step 3
Heat up the waffle maker and spray with oil so that the mixture doesn’t stick.
step 4
Pour in the batter and cook the waffles for about 7 minutes, or until crispy on the outside and cooked through. Transfer to a lined baking tray and keep warm in the oven until you are ready to serve.
step 5
Meanwhile, make the glaze. Add the tamarind paste (50 g), muscovado sugar (50 g), honey (50 g), coriander seeds (1 tsp), frozen ginger (1 tbsp) and apple juice (150 ml) to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened and reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 6
Add the jalapeno (1), crème fraîche (100 g) and lime juice (1/2) to a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 7
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C, if using. Pop the chicken tenders (1 pack) into the basket, and air fry for 15 minutes (or in the oven for 25 minutes) until piping hot and cooked through.
step 8
To serve, pour a bit of glaze into the bottom of a bowl. Halve the waffles into triangles and stack them on top of each other. Top with the buttermilk chicken and pour over a bit more glaze. Serve with a sprinkling of coriander and with the jalapeño crème fraîche on the side.
