It's all in the spice blend. I used Penzey's Spices tandoori mix with plain greek yogurt & key limes. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyscurrytand.html?id=fyErmhgq Mix 1-2 TB. with 1 Cup plain yogurt and the juice of lime or lemon. Pour over a cut-up skinless chicken cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours preferably overnight. Remove from marinade bake 45 minutes uncovered at 325 turning and basting every 15 minutes. If I cook this in my terra cotta CLAY roaster I bake it at 350 for 1 hour no basting. Moist & delicious!
Love it love it love it!!! Just the right amount of flavoring without being over powering. I followed this recipe exactly although I did use vanilla yogurt. This recipe will certainly be used time and time again. Thank you for sharing.
I cooked them in a oil-sprayed pan in the oven 335F for about an hr. I pour away the juice every 15mins so the chicken will look nicely baked and dried at the end. They taste good and easy to make. Oh I marinated them for about 6 hours. Also I oil spray the chicken surface lightly 10 mins before its out of the oven. Will be making this again for sure!
Loved this one! You can buy Tandoori power at My Spice Sage if you don't have an import store nearby.
We were hoping for something a little spicier or more intriguing. It was good but we were hoping for better. Bought the Tandoori masala powder from Amazon (I keep a wish list until I get enough for free shipping which helps). We did discover that plain yogurt in a marinade is just fine and we need not turn up our noses or our palates. So it was a good learning experience. Now if we can just find a really interesting use for the Tandoori Masala.
my family loved it not to mention that spicy food not their favorite.
Very testy and tender chicken but top of that i got the tandoori masala recipe thanks for that Mr Tom and if u have some other masala recipe like birayani nihari korma karahi ghost kabuli pullyo please share with us. Thank U
Just got into Indian cooking so I don't expect much of myself. I made a couple of slight mods: I added a little chili powder and cayenne pepper not much just a pinch and I finished the dish off with a small side of: 4 tbsps of sambal chopped scallions lemon juice and honey Greek yoghurt just to give it some extra ooomph!
