    I have made this 3 times now, after a friend made it for me. Very good!

    Note: Made 2 times with Greek yogurt (because I had some in fridge and it has come out really salty. 1st time thought it was the salt, so 2nd time omitted salt and still was salty, so had to be the yogurt.
    Finally made it last night with regular, whole milk yogurt, and did not add the salt listed. Tasted great!

    I usually bake in oven, and finish under broiler to char up.
    Made this with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and also bone-in chicken thighs. Both good options, but the thighs have more flavor.

    This recipe has yielded the best flavor of any of the tandoori chicken recipies I have tried. It works very well as a baked dish too.

    Thanks for the excellent recipe - though i did get a few more from different points but this came out the best.

    I used to do grill for the tandoor but then on a suggestion of a celebrity chef of an Indian Restaurant i got an authentic tandoor oven.

    Believe me - i did your same recipe in the tandoor oven instead of the grill and your taste buds will fee the difference. The chicken in the grill got a little drier as compared to the tandoor oven i used but both cooked really well.

    Thanks - if people can benefit then i got my tandoor online from HOMETANDOOR in NJ

    I thought this was a very good recipe. The overall balance of flavors was great and a great change from boring old chicken. I would definitely recommend marinating overnight. I served it with some delicious nan bread rice and corn on the cob.

    One of the few Indian recipes I've found that I really like. The spice blend is just right. I took the easy route and used boneless, skinless, chicken breast. Served with rice.

    We cubed the boneless chicken breast for kabobs, so the meat really absorbed the marinade quite well. It was a very easy way to serve a crowd, also cubed up salmon but did not leave it in the marinade as long. Grilled the kabobs, served with rice, cucumber yogurt sauce and veggies...yummy.

    Usually onion paste is not used to marinade the chicken. All the rest of the ingredients are good. One can put sauteed onion on the sides while serving the dish. But, then again I believe food as almost everything else is a matter of personal preference.

    I have tried several Tandoori recipe's out there but none of them came out exactly what authentic Tandoori Chicken should taste like. This one is near perfect taste. I suggest the following:

    - Cut back or eliminate the chopped Onion. You really do not need it. I found that the water from the onion thins out the marinade.
    - Use Thai Chili instead of Serrano (if you like that extra kick
    - Use Indian Chili Powder instead of Cayenne. I prefer the Laxmi Brand Extra Hot Red Chilli Powder.
    - Two drops of Dark Red Food color to the marinade will make the chicken look better after cooking.

    Easy version...

    If you do not want to do all the blending/pureeing of the marinade, you can just can just use Gingar Garlic Paste (avaialble at India Stores. If you do make sur that you chop the Serrano/Thai Chili very small.

    This was the easiest tandoori chicken ever! Great spice and very easy to prepare. I used a habanero pepper because I like it extra spicy, but this was great! I did use 8oz. of nonfat plain yogurt with double spice. I also made my own garlic naan with whole wheat pita, fresh garlic and olive oil. Will be a staple in our house.
