- 2 tablespoons mixed herbs (such as basil, oregano, and thyme)
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin powder
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed herbs, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, salt, lemon juice, and avocado oil to create a marinade.

- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the cottage cheese sauce. In a blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
- Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a saucepan and heat it over low heat. Add a pinch of salt and your desired Indian spices for extra flavor.
- Once the chicken is cooked, serve it with a generous drizzle of the cottage cheese sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
