FOOD SAFARI'S TANDOORI CHICKEN



Food Safari's Tandoori Chicken image

I seen this on TV, it was an SBS show called Food Safari which is hosted by Maeve O'Meara. The recipe was made by Nighat Hassan a Pakistani chef and she used an outdoors Pakistani oven but I made it on a regular oven. Nighat made it look so simple and it is, I marinated mine for two days and the flavours really enhanced, we served it with steam rice, a large dollop of yoghurt with a sprinkle of cumin powder, tomatoes and lettuce salad with a mint leaf to garnish, but the chef suggested a Pakistani Mint Sauce. We found eating the chicken with the yoghurt enhanced the flavours more. Please note: Marinating time is not included. Enjoy

TANDOORI CHICKEN



Tandoori Chicken image

A tandoor is a hole dug in the ground surrounded by hot coals to create an oven. And one of the most well-known chicken dishes is one that was created in this type of Indian oven. Don't worry - you don't have to dig a hole in your backyard to make this version! Serve this with Raita. It's a cool way to take the edge off the hot pepper sauce in the chicken.
