Tandoori Chicken

One of the birthday gifts that Charles received were some Indian spice mixes. He decided that he would try making the Indian dish that he really likes to eat.,Tandoori chicken.
We spent the afternoon swimming at Barton Springs while the chicken soaked in the mixture of spices and yogurt and lemon juice.. On the way home Charles had to stop to buy additional chicken because he didn't think he had enough to make the dish. A good portion of the mixture ended up in some bowls and on the counter. Actually he had whipped up so much marinade that he did need more chicken.

The chicken was cooked on the bar-b-que grill for 20 minutes and then finished in the oven. Fortunately Charles only used half of the spices that were called for in the recipe....it was spicy! This was his first try at Indian cooking,and it was pretty tasty. along with the chicken he served spinach and cheese and white rice. The menu for the Indian dinner:

Tandoori chicken breasts and onions
spinach creamed with cheese
white rice
mixed salad
fruit salad for desert/or ice cream.
beer or soda pop to drink
