Tandoori Chicken Masala

2 comments

I remember eating this dish for the first time when I moved to the states, don’t know whose recipe it is though, however my older sister in law’s family is where I had it for the first time I believe. When I was in my teens and early 20’s I didn’t care for Pakistani food a lot, so I don’t remember enjoying this or even caring for it a lot at that time but once I had children was when I started making more family friendly meals. This is definitely a crowd pleaser and you can feed an army with this meal if you make it in the right quantity. Nothing is more belly warming than a rich curry full of flavors served with rice and a side of fresh salad.

This recipe can be turned into a grill item if you prefer. All you gotta to do is grill it instead after marination. You can meal prep and multipurpose this dish, you can’t go wrong with that. Give it a shot, let me know how it turns out. Please like, comment, share and subscribe for more quick and easy recipes coming your way!
