Tandoori Chicken is a popular Indian dish and is best left to marinate over night. I served this with home made chips but this can be served with  naan bread and salad too.

Serves approx 2-3 

Ingredients

1 Small skinless chicken cut into 8 pieces
2 tbs Tandoori powder
1 tsp Cumin powder
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Garam masala
1 tsp Chilli powder
3 Garlic cloves (crushed)
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1/2 tsp Fennel seeds
Salt
1 tbs Natural Yogurt
2 tbs Sunflower oil
Handful of fresh coriander
3 Medium sized Maris piper potatoes

Method

Marinate the chicken in all of the above ingredients (except the potatoes) and leave in the fridge overnight or at least a few hours.

Pre heat the oven at 180oc and place the chicken on a lined baking tray and pop in the oven for 45 min. Whilst the chicken is cooking peel the potatoes and cut into chips.

Deep fry the chips until golden brown approx 15 min before the chicken is ready to come out of the oven.

Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are a great alternative to normal potatoes and tastes soo good especially with a garlic mayonnaise dip. This is easy to make and works as a great side dish.

Serves 2
  
Ingredients

2 Sweet potatoes
2 tbs Sunflower oil
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Mixed dried herbs
1 tsp Chilli flakes

Method 

 Pre heat the oven to 200oc

Wash and peel the potatoes and cut into chunky chips. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, add the sweet potatoes and mix all of the ingredients above.

Place the sweet potato fries into the oven on 200oc for 20 min and then using a spatula turn the fries over.

Cook for a further 10-15 min or until the fries are cooked and slightly colored. Be careful not to over cook as I have done this in the past and the fries go very chewy after cooling down slightly. When the fries are taken out of the oven they should still be slightly soft as they will firm up upon cooling.
