Tandoori Chicken Masala
Eoin
Posts: 4,304
I wanted to try and create a tandoori chicken masala, but tastier and a lot hotter than the usual style.
Starting with chicken breasts, cut into chunks. I made a stage 1 marinade with a chilli / paprika (plus some other stuff) I keep made up in a jar, salt and lemon juice.

While that sat for 30 minutes, I made the second marinade with yoghurt and cream blended with lots of garlic and ginger, some ground cumin and some saffron. Added to the chicken mix. It was not really as thick as it could have been, I'll use strained greek yoghurt next time. This sat for an hour. Longer would have been better, but no time. Onto skewers and onto a hot MMX.

The idea isn't to cook the chicken, just to get it some char.

The masala (curry / gravy) was a simple spiced tomato sauce. Dry fry dries chillies and cumin seeds then grind. Fry onion, add chopped ginger, add the chilli / cumin plus some pepper and tumeric. Bring this all together then add lots of chopped garlic, cook for 60 seconds (browned garlic isn't nice) add 2 x tins chopped tomatoes. After a few minutes, I blended this and then returned to the pan to simmer. I made 2 sauces with different heat levels.
Add the part cooked chicken, cover and simmer.

Finally, a spinach curry as a side dish.

On the plate with some chappatis - grilled but shop bought.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Outstanding, sir!
the whole plate is great. Spinach sides are a nice complement to many Indian/curry dishes.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Have you tried Urvashi Pitre’s butter chicken in the Instant Pot? I’ve done dozens of BC recipes at home and this one beats them all by a mile. Was featured in the New York Times. https://twosleevers.com/instant-pot-butter-chicken/Canugghead said:Awesome cook and writeup, thanks for sharing.

@GrateEggspectations thanks, will have to look into that with a more open mind. TBH I perceive cooking Indian curry in instapot as blasphemy, kind of like brisket
One exception being precooking potatoes for curry. canuckland -
Great documentation and result right there. Impressive across the board.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Reserve judgement until you’ve tried her recipes. They are the best Indian dishes I’ve ever had at home. And they are simple. That being said, you seem to cook a lot of Indian, so you might have a different take.Canugghead said:@GrateEggspectations thanks, will have to look into that with a more open mind.
