Tandoori Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and salt. Add chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Cook the Basmati Rice
Rinse basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked and fluffy.
Prepare the Tandoori Chicken
Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on the grill or a baking sheet. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Toast the Nuts and Raisins
In a small pan, lightly toast the sliced almonds, chopped pistachios, and raisins over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
