Grilled Tandoori Chicken and Roasted Potatoes

Delicious, delicious! These are winners!

I began by putting the chicken thighs in the yogurt marinade this morning.

Roasted the spices. They smelled sooo good!

Then chopped the onion, garlic, ginger, and serrano peppers in the food processor. (sorry for the awful pic)

Then mixed the yogurt, onion mixture, lemon juice, and salt and marinated the chicken in a ziploc bag. This was a really chunky marinade.

I almost didn't make the potatoes because I was so tired today (Leo got out at noon and Henry didn't nap this afternoon - busy afternoon!). But I'm glad I took the time - they were delicious! Started by sauteeing dried peppers and brown mustard seeds in oil. Had to go to WF for the mustard seeds.

Added garlic, jalapeno, ginger, turmeric, salt, and Garam Masala.

And mixed with the potatoes.

The recipe called for cooking these in a pyrex-type dish, but I decided to cook them on a preheated tinfoil-covered cookie sheet. I think this works great for roasting. So we cooked these potatoes while the grill prepped and then cooked the chicken.

After the potatoes were cooked, they were tossed with cilantro, mint, and lime juice.

And the final product! The chicken recipe also includes a yogurt sauce, and it is easy and essential! It is the perfect complement to the chicken. Although this dinner took some time, it was worth it. I would really like to learn more about Indian cooking - we love the flavors.
