Arora Creations: Tandoori Chicken

Arora Creations makes a terrifically tasty gluten free spice mix that can be used for meals like Tandoori Chicken. I love the ingredients in this which contain only:

salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, granulated garlic, ground ginger, red pepper, granulated onion, citric acid, ground nutmeg, ground mace, ground black pepper, herbs, lemon essential oil.

This mix is all natural, contains no MSG, is gluten free, diabetic safe, has low sodium, and is nut free.

I followed their directions for tandoori chicken marinade which couldn't have been easier. I used my favorite Fage Total yogurt with olive oil and white vinegar, added my hormone-free chicken pieces and stuck it in the fridge for 8 hours.

After the gym and around the time Rob was getting antsy for dinner, I heated a skillet with a touch of olive oil and added the chicken. As the marinade was on the thick side it clung to the chicken nicely and cooked up into a bubbling broth. Of course I'm not sure if that's necessarily the way it's done, but it seemed to work. Grilling (if we had one) would have been optimal I imagine.

Once the chicken was cooked (I cut open each piece to be sure), I layered the pieces over freshly made brown basmati rice and voila- a yummy gluten free meal that tasted fabulous.
Arora Creations Tandoori Chicken is a keeper!
