Ingredients

  • 1 Cup yogurt
  • 1 Teaspoon Turmeric Ground
  • 1 Teaspoon red chili pepper or Cayenne Pepper, ground, see notes,
  • ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Coriander Seeds Ground
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Cumin Seeds Ground
  • ¼ Teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • ¼ Teaspoon Green Cardamom Ground
  • 1 Teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ Teaspoon chaat masala Optional
  • ¼ Teaspoon Clove Ground
  • ½ Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger + Garlic paste
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Cilantro Fresh fresh, chopped, aka Coriander
  • 1 Teaspoon oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the yogurt to the mixing bowl with the spices, ginger garlic paste, salt, chopped fresh cilantro and oil. Mix to a smooth paste.
  2. Use directly to marinate chicken, vegetables, mushroom, seafood, fish, soya etc or freeze for another day.

Notes

  • Use Kashmiri Chili peppers for less heat and more red color. That's what they use in India too.
  • The Tandoori Paste makes a medium-sized batch.
  • Use how much ever needed to marinate chicken, vegetables, fish, seafood, soy or mushrooms and freeze the rest for another day.
  • If you can't get Chaat Masala for the paste, just leave it out as it is optional. Chaat Masala can give a very authentic Indian flavor to the Tandoori Paste. You can also use black salt as a substitute.
