Chicken tandoori

Here in the Netherlands we have a line of premade spice mixes calls 'world dishes'. Chicken tandoori is one of those dishes. I used to make this a lot during my college times.

And to be honest, the taste is awesome but as we all know by know that's mostly salt.

Spicier

I love spicy food so I added some chilipoweder in my spice mix but this is totally optional. You can leave it out when you don't like spicy.

This doesn't actually taste a lot like the packet I described above. This has a deeper taste and I honestly like this more.

Versatile

What I like about this dish is that it's very versatile. When I want to eat lowcarb I serve it with a salad. You can also eat it with pita bread.

You can also make it with a sauce and serve it with (cauliflower)rice and sugar snaps.
