Tandoori Chicken Breast with Mango & Ginger Relish

Tandoori Chicken Breast with Mango & Ginger Relish

There is just something so delicious about a Tandoori, a healthier and super tasty alternative to a saucy curry, it is a dry dish marinated in spices and yogurt. Traditionally cooked in a Tandoor oven (a really hot clay oven popular in India and many parts of Asia and the Middle East), you can still create delicious Tandoori at home using your grill or BBQ. This chicken breast uses our Tandoori Paste, which is a delicious blend of spices; as well as extra ginger, lemon and yogurt. The result is succulent and amazingly tasty.
