Arora Creations Tandoori Chicken Spice Blend, 0.9-Ounce Units (Pack of 12)

One Saturday I was watching Aarti Sequeira's show on Food Network on Tandoori Chicken. It looked great and her guests loved it. The only problem for me was getting ALL of the various spices, measuring them and putting it together.I found this product on Amazon and it has a few very good reviews. Since I wanted to cook something different for my guests, I gave it a try.First, it was super easy! Yogurt and the Arora Creations Tandoori Chicken spice packets was all it took. I did a double batch. Total prep time was under 20 minutes. I let it marinate five hours. I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs. On a hot BBQ prepared with lump hardwood charcoal (not briquettes), I cooked each side for about 3 minutes. It had a wonderful char.On the same grill I cooked Naan bread. The bread, tandoori chicken and a light potato salad was a huge hit. We have guests coming over this month. Two of them were here for the tandoori chicken. They told the rest of folks coming and begged me to make it again.Yes, you can buy all the tandoori spices and measure them out, but why? This is easy and delicious.

We put this together in the morning then grill the chicken in the evening. Serve with Naan and a salad and you have a great meal. It's not super spicy - so it's great when serving to kids. If you want some extra heat I would recommend adding some red chili flakes (save the packs from your next pizza delivery).If you want to send this over the edge - go to Salad-In-A-Jar dot com and get the how-to on making your own Greek yogurt. It's easy and tastes sooooo much better than store bought :)

Easy to use and tasty. I'd prefer it to be a little hotter but nothing that cayenne pepper can't fix.

My favorite tandoori recipe, easy and quick to prepare, wonderful taste.

Best deal around! Can't beat the price locally.

If you want authentic and extremely tasty Indian tandoori chicken (be it bone-in or boneless, this is the way to go! It is very easy to prepare and no matter how you cook the chicken (last night I baked it in the oven) it turns out so good! Prepare it with Naan found on the allrecipes.com website and you'll have yourself a wonderful meal. Now we just need to find some mint chutney for the naan and mulligatawny (sp?)!I recommend this whole-heartedly!

I'm not the least bit surprised that all of the other reviews to date are 5-star. This is simple to prepare and the results are moist and delicious. I have made it many times and never had a misfire. Highly recommended.

Authentic and flavorful. Just mix with yogurt, EVOO, and a little vinegar. Let chicken marinate in this mixture at least an hour and then pop chicken on grill or in a 500 degree oven until done. That's it. Final product is not bright red like many tandooris, but there is no artificial red color in it like in many other tandoori preparations.
