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.

Voor een tandoori saus

Eindelijk een lekker recept gevonden voor kip tandoori! Ik heb nog wat toevoegingen gedaan die naar mijn smaak bij dit gerecht passen nl. 1 klein blikje tomatenpuree (voor de kleur) cardamonzaadjes, nootmuskaat en kaneel ( van ieder 1 theelepel)

Het ziet er erg lekker uit! Kan je dit recept ook gebruiken voor de slowcooker. En zoja, wat adviseer je dan?

Hi,
Ik heb zelf geen slowcooker en heb er ook nooit mee gekookt dus daar kan ik helaas niets over zeggen.
groetjes,
Claudia
