    An unusual take on the classic Tandoori chicken. My fillets marinated in the yogurt and spices for 24 hours which left the poultry rich with aromatics and delightfully tender. The spice blend was subtle with the cardamom a emerging a bit more than the rest, something that worked very well for me given my fondness for this particular spice. Others may find it a bit over-pronounced and would do well to cut the stated amount back by some. Thanks Boomie! Made for 1-2-3 Wonders.

    Yummy! I left this to marinate more then 24 hours and it was very tender but the flavours were not very overpowering, which was perfect for Little Miss (DD). I like the fact it only took less then 5 minutes to put together. Served it with a selection of vegetables. Thank you Boomette
