By request, here's the Tandoori style chicken recipe. This can be used for beef or lamb as well.
Tandoori Style MarinadeFor Tandoori Chicken, Lamb, etc.
Ingredients:
Enough for about 3 lbs meat
1 TBS Paprika
1/2 - 1 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (1/2 tsp = mild, 1 tsp = medium, 1 1/2 tsp = hot)
2 TBS Vegetable/Olive Oil
1 cup Plain Yogurt
1 TBS Ginger-Garlic Paste (or 1 tsp each: Granulated Garlic & Ground ginger)
2 TBS Lime (or lemon) Juice
Spice Mix (or you could use 1 TBS Curry powder):
- 1 tsp ground Coriander
- 1 tsp ground Yellow Mustard
- 1/2 tsp ground Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Salt
In a mixing bowl, combine the Paprika, Cayenne, and oil, and allow to sit for a few minutes. This draws the red color from the paprika & cayenne, and infuses it into the oil. No need to use red food coloring.
Whisk in remaining ingredients. Pour marinade over meat, mix and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to a few hours.
Skewer the meat (if desired).
Thoroughly cook on a very hot grill until slightly charred and done.
Thanks!
