Hosting an Indian cuisine dinner party?
I’m trying to plan a dinner party with Indian cuisine but I’m not sure what kinds of dishes would make for a good combination.
Tandoori Chicken- easy & tasty!!
INGREDIENTS
* 2 pounds chicken, cut into pieces
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 lemon, juiced
* 1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
* 1/2 onion, finely chopped
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
* 2 teaspoons garam masala
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
* 1 teaspoon red food coloring
* 2 teaspoons finely chopped cilantro
* 1 lemon, cut into wedges
1. Remove skin from chicken pieces, and cut slits into them lengthwise. Place in a shallow dish. sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and lemon juice. Set aside 20 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Mix until smooth. Stir in yellow and red food coloring. Spread yogurt mixture over chicken. Cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours (the longer the better).
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat, and lightly oil grate.
4. Cook chicken on grill until no longer pink and juices run clear. Garnish with cilantro and lemon wedges.

Garam masala may be purchased in Indian markets and in the gourmet section of some supermarkets. If Garam masala is not available, use 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1teaspoon ground coriander.
*
This dish can also be baked in a hot oven (450 degrees F) for 25 to 30 minutes (or until done). But the grill tastes better!!
It is also good with light cocktail or something like Pinot- or even iced tea (homemade herbal iced tea is a staple in my home!)
you should make plain rice with plain pineapple yogurt, also some kind of curry chicken dish. Curry and plain white rice goes well.

My favorite combination of foods for an Indian meal is:
saag paneer
cinnamon scented basmati rice
naan bread
mango lassi
