TANDOORI CHICKEN TIKKA

Tandoori chicken is one the most loved Indian recipes. And I sure make it often.

This healthy delight should be a staple at most households, not just for how easy it is to make but also the health factor.

However, while I write this post, it is raining outside and I want to enjoy the weather with a cup of tea, so this is gonna be one short post.

1 kg chicken with bone

Tomato puree 200 ml

¼ cup oil

1/3 cup vinegar

3 tbsp Tandoori masala

Salt to taste

Chaat masala to taste

Lemon juice to taste

In a bowl, mix tomato puree, oil, vinegar, tandoori masala and salt. Add chicken and toss till well coated. Allow chicken to marinate for atleast 15 minutes, longer is better.

Preheat oven to 200c and cook chicken in batches according to the oven size for approx 40-45 minutes

The recipe works very well with a grill or an air fryer.

FRIED SALAMI SANDWICH

The weather.. yeah, I’m gonna rant about the weather.. it’s driving me mad.

I wake up in the morning, look out at the beautifully cast sky, decide it’ll be a cool day, and plan an outing. Two hours later.. scorching sun.

Ugghhh.. its 50c. I don’t have to bake anymore.. stuff gets baked on it’s own all the time.

I’m waiting for winters. I love winters and hot chocolate and spiced teas and pumpkin lattes.. and I’m really messed in my head right now.

I think this is enough ranting for the day.. however (you knew there was a however, didn’t you?), this is enough only for today. The summers here last till October and you are going to here a lot of it.

And now for today’s recipe. I made a simple salami sandwich and served it with cream of pumpkin soup.

The quantities for the fillings can obviously be changed to suit your taste. The primary flavors are salami and cheddar.

• Servings: 2 sandwiches
• Time: 15 minutes

2 tbsp Butter

16 salami slices (chicken, mutton, pork or any other you like)

Half a medium zucchini (sliced thin)

4 slices sandwich bread

8-10 slices Gherkins

4 tbsp Olives

2 tbsp chopped Jalapenos

4 Cheddar slices

2-4 lettuce leaves

Mayonnaise

Salsa

In a pan, heat a little butter and pan-fry the salami slices and zucchini slices.

On a bread slice, spread mayonnaise. Put 8 salami slices, half the zucchini slices, 4-5 gherkins, 2 tbsp olives, 1 tbsp chopped jalapenos, 2 slices cheddar, 1-2 lettuce leaves. Butter the other side and put a little salsa.

Heat a griller/toaster and grill as desired.

Repeat for the second sandwich.
