27826 Quick Tandoori Chicken 1 hour 30 minutes 4 servings Thu Oct 15 10:26:21 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 11:01:52 -0700 2009 Easy Indian User http://www.chow.com/recipes/27826 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:01:52 GMT Just a quick recipe I threw together while craving some home-cooked Indian food :) All the proportions can be adjusted, depending on your spice-tolerance level.

  • Empty the containers of yogurt into a large bowl. Add the tandoori and garam masalas and mix. Adjust the tandoori masala if needed, you should have a reddish orange color. I like mine pretty dark. The masala has some salt in it (depending on the type you have) so I recommend tasting it before adding some salt.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to make sure all the chicken pieces are immersed in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
  • Coat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Using tongs add the chicken to the pan. (Don’t pour it in, there is extra marinade!)
  • When the chicken is almost fully cooked, add the red onion to cook a little but still retain its crunch.
  • Squirt a little lemon over the chicken and serve with lemon wedges.
