In case you haven’t noticed, I love Indian food. I come from an Indian family, and we are constantly having delicious, home-cooked Indian meals, or going out to eat at an Indian restaurant. This is my favorite type of food. I love it even more than Mexican food! There are so many creamy dals, wonderful desserts, and much, much more. Indian food is so awesome, and most of it is healthy, too! That’s why I’m about to share a great chicken recipe with you. It doesn’t take a long time to do the actual cooking, and you will definitely find it delicious. So here is my dad’s recipe for Tandoori Chicken…..
Scrumptious Tandoori Chicken
- This is my dad’s amazing dish!
Serves 6
-
2 lbs chicken
-
16 oz plain non-fat yogurt
-
4 tbs Rajah Tandoori Masala
-
1 tps salt
-
2 tbs oil
-
cilantro, lemon, green chillies, and cucumber slices to garnish
Directions:
-
Obtain a large dish.
-
In it, mix the yogurt, masala, salt, and oil.
-
Cut the chicken into 2 inch pieces.
-
Add the pieces into the dish and thoroughly cover them with the marinating sauce that you just made.
-
Refrigerate for 8-12 hours (this is very important.)
-
Grill the chicken on a medium flame for a total of 30 minutes, and turn them over from time to time.
-
Serve warm with cucumber slices, lemon, cilantro, and chopped green chillies (if you’re brave enough!)
I’m sure that you will love this chicken recipe. You can usually find tandoori masala where ever you do your grocery shopping, but if not, it is also in any Indian store. The smaller the pieces are, the more flavorful and tender they will be. I recommend doing all the preparations in the evening and refrigerating the chicken overnight. This dish is both healthy and scrumptious. I hope that you enjoy my dad’s chicken, and you realize how awesome Indian food is (if you haven’t already! 🙂
