Tantalizing Tandoori Chicken

I saw it, I was inspired and I attempted. The result, not too bad! Pretty tasty and got a few nods of approval. I have browsed a few recipes but ended up adjusting to my taste.


It's pretty easy actually...just mix all the ingredients, leave it to marinade and roast in the oven. You'll get exotic cuisine right in the comfort of your home :)

**I didn't use the exact measurements in mine..

Feel free to adjust :)
