Instructions
For the naan bread, sift the flour , sugar , salt and baking powder into a medium mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the yoghurt . Using clean fingertips, gradually draw in the flour , mixing to form a ball of soft dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough forms a smooth ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover. Set aside for 10 minutes .
Preheat the oven to 200 °C .
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a sharp knife, cut into four pieces. If the dough is sticky, dust with a little more flour .
Form the pieces of dough into four oval-shaped balls, then roll out into ovals of about 11 × 22 cm (4 × 8½in). Place on two lightly greased baking trays and prick with a fork. Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes until golden and puffy.
Place the reduced-fat spread in a small saucepan over a very low heat until just melted. Brush over the naan breads and leave to cool.
Combine all the raita ingredients in a small bowl and mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Split one side of each naan bread open using a small serrated knife. Fill each naan bread with some of the cooked chicken tikka slices , baby spinach leaves and the raita. Serve at once.
