Tandoori Turkey

On Friday afternoon whilst wandering around Hieber I came across a tub of Tandoori Masala, I had never see this before and so snapped it up. When I was a child Tandoori Chicken was my first encounter with Indian cuisine, I loved it instantly and the love affair has continued since then.

It was a real coincidence that on Saturday Meeta posted a recipe for Tandoori chicken over at What’s for Lunch Honey? ! Inspired by Meeta’s mouthwatering pictures from her family barbeque in Michigan I decided to give the Tandoori Masala a try.

I googled Tandoori masala and found this recipe.

I now understand what Meeta meant in here recipe when she said that low fat yogurt doesn’t really work well when making tandoori (it’s too runny) but it had to do since it was all I had. I think that full-fat thick and creamy yogurt would have definately worked better. All the same the flavour was there and the end product was really tasty!

Dal

I love eating Indian food but am quite inexperienced at cooking it.

A couple of year ago I bought The New Covent Garden Soup Company’s Soup & Beyond – Soup, Beans and other things and when flicking through it I found a recipe for Dal and thought I’d give it a try.

I really love all types of beans and pulses and if I didn’t enjoy eating meat so much I think I could survive quite happily as a vegetarian.

I don’t know why I don’t make this more often, it’s quick and easy to make and is real comfort food! This is my slightly adapted version.
