Method

  1. Add the yoghurt, curry powder, turmeric and lemon or lime juice to a bowl, and mix thoroughly.
  2. To the yoghurt mixture, add the diced apricot, cucumber, sultanas and shredded chicken, and mix thoroughly.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches – there’s no need for butter or spread – and cut into quarters.
  4. Serve immediately or transfer into a sealed pot and store in the fridge until needed. It’s best to make up the sandwiches on the day, however the filling can be prepared in advance.
