Kicking off the blog with a delicious homemade recipe.
I love trying all different types of foods, (at least once), so I can fairly say if I like it or not. This time around we decided to try a homemade recipe of a type of cuisine we’ve never attempted to cook before. We took on Tandoori chicken and Yellow Jasmine rice.
The quest to find all the spices and ingredients necessary for seasoning on the chicken was a tough one that involved a visit to approximately 4 different grocery stores (even those fancy organic ones), with no luck. Even though most of the spices are found at regular grocery stores, some specialty items such as the gram flour and the ginger garlic paste (see photo below) were only found at the local Indian grocery store.
For best results, we marinated the chicken with the spice mix overnight. You can find here the full recipe and video tutorial for the Tandoori chicken. While mixing all the ingredients it was obvious that this was going to be a spicy recipe but nothing that couldn’t be handled. It was delicious! The aroma coming from the oven definitely had that cinnamon, it’s almost Fall, smell to it.
To pair it off, we chose to make Yellow Jasmine Rice, because why not? The mix of flavors was just great, the smell throughout the house was delicious. A slice of avocado sealed the dish. Let me just tell you that it was a fun, fairly easy and delicious meal to make after getting home from work.
Do you have any Indian dishes you love? We’d love to try and make them. Share your recipes! After all…we need to use all those delicious ingredients we now have.
