Tandoori is one of our favourite Indian flavours. Why not try this for an alternative Sunday roast? Serve it with a portion of Garlic Mushroom Biryani and raita (page 72) or Balsamic Roasted Onions (page 222) for a bright and colourful lunch that breaks from tradition in the best way!

Made it in my air fryer to save energy

I marinated it overnight for maximum results. Cooked the next day for a meal through the week.

Tandoori chicken and onions

I used the slow cooker method to cook then drained off the excess juices and used air fryer mode to crisp. The meat was so tender and fell off the bone

Delicious

Worth the wait! Served with mushroom biryani, mint raita and spinach

Love it… a family favourite

Always leave it to marinate…the longer the better

The marinade was so simple to make with store cupboard essen

I used diced chicken breast and it worked out perfectly. I adjusted the cooking time to suit.

Less is more

This mixture made enough to cover and marinade two chickens….I have 4 men to feed so that was a bonus!

Absolutely superb

Slow cooked then 10 minutes in the oven to crisp the skin up

I added it to the oven to crisp up the skin.

Tastes amazing
