Although this is not the typical bright artificial red tandoori colour, this freshly made, very aromatic Thermomix tandoori marinade is used here with baked chicken thighs, but can easily be used to marinate a whole chicken for roasting, chicken drumsticks, or using smaller cubes of chicken and skewering them for on the BBQ. Apart from chicken, the marinade is also lovely used with skewered and BBQ’d prawns, or to marinate lamb chops or even a whole lamb roast.
The chicken thighs in this recipe can be grilled on the BBQ as an alternative. If you prefer the traditional colour of tandoori, just add a couple of drops of red food colouring to the marinade.

So far this is my favourite recipe! I’m looking forward to trying this on the BBQ – hope it works!
Apologies Rebecca, I’ve just seen this – how did it go? I had someone share some skewers a while back and they looked amazing.
hi Leonie, I made this using your Tandoori Spice and yoghurt recipes. As I’m mostly low-carb these days I served it with roasted cauliflower florets and onions (olive oil, salt and pepper, tumeric and curry powder) and green beans. It was just delightful.
Apart from the cauliflower this sounds amazing 😀 But glad you got a win with it all!
Love this recipe! Always have some of the Tandoori Spice Mix in the cupboard and a couple of tubs of the marinade in the freezer.
Thank you Elizabeth great to hear. 🙂
