TANDOORI CHICKEN
3 tbsp. Tandoori mix ("Sharwood's India" is available at most English grocery stores) 3 tbsp. plain yogurt 3 tbsp. vinegar 3 tbsp. lemon juice 3 tbsp. oil 4 chicken breasts, skin removed Blend first 5 ingredients into marinade. Remove all skin from chicken and make several deep cuts into the meat. Coat the chicken, rubbing it into the cuts (hands will turn a nice shade of orange). Cover and leave at least 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight. Although traditional Tandoori is cooked in clay ovens, this recipe works very well on a grill. Cook at high temperature for 10 to 15 minutes per side. Can be served hot or cold. (Makes a unique tasting chicken salad.) Serve with lemon slices, green salad and rice. NAAN Bread (similar to Pita) is excellent on the side. Although most people think of Indian food as very spicy, Tandoori is fairly mild - everyone we have served this to is always pleasantly surprised.

Penzys spices is online and the best. Free shipping on a relatively small order.

I and the whole of my family love this dish but I am no longer able to source this Sharwoods Tandoori spice mixture anywhere and I have given up cooking it because nobody makes it as well as Sharwoods.

I'm in Texas with the same problem. I cannot find it anywhere, even online. Luckily enough, I kept the original spice cannister and using approximate amounts, I have almost duplicated it. Each batch is slightly different. Knowing that the listing order is the proportion from large to small helps figure out the amount to add. You should try it.

I've also used Colonel Sharwood's Tandoori, but in a spice mix that I mixed with the recommended ingredients. I made whole chickens covered with foil, on a primitive hibachi & they're wonderful. I fully believe it's the cook that matters, not the tools! The whole neighborhood comes out to see what I'm cooking. I've had trouble finding the spice mix, but the paste is on Amazon.
