Ingredients

Tandoori Paste

  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 4 green cardamom pods
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 300 g brown onions peeled, halved
  • 60 g garlic peeled (about 12 cloves)
  • 80 g fresh ginger sliced into coins
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp mild paprika
  • 4 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 tsp ground coriander seeds
  • 4 tsp garam masala if you haven't got pepper free, omit the peppercorns
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1-2 tsp cayenne pepper depending on spice preference
  • 30 g olive oil

Tandoori Marinade

  • 1 portion of tandoori paste
  • 250 g Greek yoghurt I use Jalna
  • 30 g fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp honey optional for sugar free

Instructions

  • **Please Note: This recipe requires 24 hour marinating for best results**

Paste

  • Add peppercorns, cardamom and cloves to mixer bowl. Insert simmering basket and mill for 10 sec/speed 9/MC on. Remove your simmering basket, ensuring to retain any milled spices in the bowl by tapping it gently.
  • Add remaining paste ingredients and blend for 10 sec/speed 9/MC on. Scrape bowl down and repeat once.
  • Portion out the paste into 4 x lots and freeze individually.

Marinade

  • Add all marinade ingredients to mixer bowl, combine for 5 sec/speed 3/MC on.

Notes

Makes enough marinade to marinate 1 kg or 35.3 oz of meat.
Marinate your meat in the fridge, covered, for 24 hours for best results. Scrape excess marinade off of the meat before grilling, oven baking or frying.
For those who are dairy free, you can skip the yoghurt and just marinate your meat with the paste.
