Recipe Of The Week | Tandoori Chicken

Traditional Tandoori Chicken

Delicious easy to prepare Tandoori Chicken, perfect grilled or for BBQ [if the weather holds up!]


Tandoori Chicken Recipe:

Ingredients Required:
3 tsp ferns tandoori paste
4 tbsp yoghurt
2 x chicken breasts
1 tsp olive oil
1 inch piece root ginger finely chopped
juice and zest of one lemon.

Method: In a large bowl mix together the tandoori paste, yoghurt, ginger and lemon zest/juice. Fan the chicken breast out and cover in the curry paste. Leave to marinate for at least 30 mins. Cook under a hot grill for 10 mins and then turn and cook for a further 5 mins. Serve hot with sliced onion and lemon slices and tandoori roti or bread of your choice.

'This is a great tasting, simple recipe that has delicious results! I marinate longer to really get the flavour into the meat. Just cover the bowl with cling film and place in the fridge overnight and by next morning you will be ready to cook with flavourfull chicken.'

Great with some Mint Raitha Yoghurt.

Enjoy!
