Tandoori Roast Chicken
I love to try different styles and flavors when I make a roast chicken. One of my all time favorites is this Tandoori Roast Chicken dish which went down a treat in my house a few weeks ago. Tandoori is almost synonymous with Indian cuisine. Who doesn’t love yogurt and spice marinated charred chicken?
Start by marinating a whole chicken in a yogurt, lemon and spice marinade. Once the chicken is marinated, roast it in a roasting pan with onions, lemon and ginger. Once the chicken is cooked, puree the lemon and onion to make the base of a sauce. Combine the puree with coconut milk and bubble until it reduces. Stir through coriander and serve with the chicken. I like to add some homemade naan bread on the side to mop up the juices.Â
To make the Tandoori Roast Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:

If you want to take this a step further you can also stuff it a bit with some veggies, I put some sliced peppers in mine.

The lemon actually adds a zest to it so if you're not a fan of sour things I'd recommend skipping it.
Spicy but very tasty and simple to make.
I kinda think the chicken looks like it has something coming out of it lol but still looks like a recipe worth trying out.
What's with the milk and yogurt? I've never seen any chicken made with that.

Uhmm red food coloring for what? you can just use red pepper and it works just as good plus makes it spicier for those who like their dish hot.
Roasted to perfection now my house smells like a 5 star resturant haha.
Expensive to make in my opinion but the taste is extravagant.
Thumbs up to the creator of this is was fantastic.
