Since so many of you enjoyed the naanwich, I thought I'd provide you with another Indian inspired recipe. This one combines the typical tandoori seasonings with grilled chicken. The chicken needs to marinate for an hour, so get a head start on this dish early in the afternoon.
This recipe is great because it includes the ingredients and technique for the perfect side dish — a fragrant jasmine rice with grilled mango. Garnished with crunchy pine nuts and fresh cilantro, this is the perfect grilled chicken for exotic entertaining. To take a look at the recipe, read more.
