Anyone got a good tandoori recipe, I figure with all the s on the board, there has to be SOMEONE that has a good tandoori recipe. Now only if they visit this forum

 

Try this one (made it once awhile back and it tasted alright--I used white fish however):

1 chicken(3 lbs.), quartered
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups yogurt
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
8 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red food coloring(optional)
Scallions and lime wedges

Directions:
1- Remove skin from chicken; make 2 deep cuts in each piece. Rub chicken all over with 1 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 teaspoon of salt. Place in a baking dish.
2- In a bowl, combine yogurt with garlic, pepper, ginger, cumin, cayenne, cardamom, remaining lime juice & salt, and food coloring (if desired). Pour over chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally if you want, for at least half a day or overnight.
3- When ready to cook, light charcoal grill or preheat oven to 400. Grill over medium-hot coals or bake for 45ish minutes, turning and basting frequently with yogurt marinade. Garnish with scallions and lime wedges. Voila.


And you're getting this recipe from a ...so, I'll leave the Kumars and Sukhiderdeepderdeepdeepdeepderders to critique.

 

this is easier...
1. Buy a bottle of tandoori paste (or a box of tandoori spice) -- can be found in indian stores, and likely in the international aisle of supermarkets
2. Buy some yogurt
3. Buy some skinless chicken
4. Mix the paste/spice & yogurt
5. Place the chicken in #4.
6. Let marinate over night
7. Throw chicken on grill

 

I have a crapload of cod fillets too, I wonder how tandoori cod would taste. One way to find out I suppose!

 

It tasted fine with halibut and sea bass when I made them...?

So, I'm thinking it'll be just fine with cod or even sole...

 

not to hijack the thread, but on the topic of indian food, anyone know the exact recipe for chicken makhani and mango lassis? I have made some mango lassis using mango pulp and yogurt, but it's not the same...and the chicken makhani recipe ifound online was too watery...

 

Mango lassi is just that, mango and yogurt, add a lil milk maybe that will change it up.

 

hmmm...i wonder why it doesn't taste like taste of india's mango lassi...is there salt and honey involved? I read one recipe with pistachios?

 

Definitely add milk.

Food Network recipe:
9 fluid ounces (255 milliliters) plain yogurt
4 1/2 fluid ounces (130 milliliters) milk
4 1/2 fluid ounces (130 milliliters) canned mango pulp or 7 ounces (200 grams) from 3 fresh mango, stoned and sliced
4 teaspoons sugar, to taste, or feel free to try salt and cardamom seeds

Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend for 2 minutes, then pour into individual glasses, and serve. Feel free to try salt and cardamom seeds. The lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours

 

good stuff cTLgo!! i'm gonna go ahead and try that this weekend and hopefully we will get it right!

 

Goat milk? Is cow milk legal?

 

only if the rats kill it...

 

cow milk is legal stupid sala guy

 

Why do you 's call each other salads...?

 

sala, not salad

 

I know. But, in Mandarin, "sala" is actually salad.

 

This is almost exactly as i do it, execpt i cook it in a pan, After marinating the chickent, i put it in a pan and let it cook, if needed I add some lemon juice into it. My dad makes some really good tandori chicken an i'll ask him tomorrow the exact process for it. BTW< there are two ways to do it, quick and fast, in fast it doesn't get marinated and some seasoning (ill get exact ingredients tommorow) and let cook in pan.

 

hahaha.... I don't call other people that, i call them other things such as pagal, betha, bethi, chuthia and a few others. BTW, I'm an ABCD (American Born Confused Desi)so the spelling isn't right, try saying it and you'll get what i am saying...

 

What's the difference between sahib and sala...?
