Wednesday Wind-down: Tandoori chicken kebabs

I love the East End range of Indian spices which you can pick up from any Asian store. One of my favourites is the Tandoori Masala that has the most pungent aroma.

I made this recipe up as I went along and rustled together these Tandoori chicken kebabs last night using the Tandoori masala powder.

It worked out really well and the flavour of the Tandoori masala transformed the chicken. As a bonus they are so cheap to make.

I served the kebabs with a simple cous cous salad and some lettuce but they are also great with spicy potatoes.

The trick is to marinade the chicken and the vegetables separately for ages.

Instructions

1. Mix the Tandoori marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
