excellent
I made this two nights ago and it was delicious! The chicken was moist, the spices were perfect! I made a little change and used 1/4 cup of plain yogurt rather than 1/2 cup and it was the perfect amount. We paired the chicken with whole wheat couscous to which we added a little cumin and pepper. My husband loved it all and wants to have it again soon!

Tandoori Chicken
The chicken came out very moist and flavorful but the yogurt gave a funny pasty touch to the palette. It is very good for you, inexpensive, quick and easy but I will never make it again, no one cared for the yogurt texture.
