With a Tandoori aioli

I am excited to share this one with you! It was so easy, and oh man the flavour!!! When we could socialize, I made this for an appy.... a skewer a person... and it was great... I will say could have been a meal though so lessons learned.... I almost ruined our appetites for dinner.


Either way, as an appy or a main, these were tender and juicy, with minimal effort. I highly recommend you try them... lets get started.....



I started off with some antibiotic free chicken breasts and cut them into cubes. Generally bite sized or a little bigger! Place these in a ziplock bag once cut. A bag like this is my favourite way to marinate meat. I like it because you can shake it, roll it and blend the sauce around and get it everywhere.




This picture says it all. I found a tandoori paste that did not have any dairy in it and blended it with a thick coconut milk until I got the desired level of spice and flavour. I know that traditionally a yogurt would be used, but I promise you don't taste the difference and if you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, this will hit the spot for your desire to enjoy Indian food again!





In the bag they go.... massage the chicken well to ensure the sauce envelopes all pieces and stick in the fridge for approximately 2 -3 hours. Give it a flip in the fridge every once and a while to ensure the sauce does not settle.




Once marinated, place these on skewers and layer on a drip pan and place in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Ensure an internal temperature of 165 degrees but keep a close eye as you do not want to dry these out by over cooking them.




They look and smell delicious!!!!



I plated these out still on their skewers and served it with some tandoori aioli. Simply put this aioli is 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp of tandoori paste again and some freshly chopped cilantro mixed in. I really really liked these and will definitely be serving these again, even if just for my family!!
