Tandoori Style Chicken

Tandoori Style Chicken recipe

We had a whole Chicken with the ever present Yellow Sticker for £2.54 and thought we’d try something a bit different. We had everything in for the marinade apart from the Buttermilk, so this turned out to be a very low cost meal. Well two meals for two of us and bits for Smooh the cat actually.

Ingredients:-

1 Whole medium Chicken, cut into portions
1 Tsp ground Coriander
1 Tsp ground Cumin
1 Tsp ground Turmeric
1 Tsp ground Cayenne Pepper
1 Tbsp Garam Masala
1 Tbsp Paprika
330ml Buttermilk
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
4 minced Garlic cloves
2 Tbsp minced fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Salt
½ a small tin of Tomato Puree
2 Tbsp Oil
DIY Garlic Butter

Method:-

(1) Mix all the marinade ingredients.
(2) If your Chicken is nor portioned, cut through the joints with a shart knife to take the legs and wings off. Now use kitchen scissors to cut the body along one side of the spine and the same side of the keel bone.
(3) In a large bowl stir the marinade around all the Chicken portions, making sure that every area is coated.
(4) Allow the marinade to do it’s thing in the fridge for at least an hour. We have a second batch which has been in the fridge over night.
(5) Foil a grill tray and put the rack over the top.
(6) Pre heat the oven to 180c
(7) Roast uncovered for 20 minutes.
(8) Remove from the over and glaze with the melted Garlic Butter.
(9) Return to the oven for a further 15 to 20 minutes, until the Chicken is well cooked.

We served ours on a bed of Rice with home made Naan Bread, Onion Bhaji, Whole grain Mustard Mayo and a Cabbage & green leaf Salad.

Susan Rimington is a long standing Chef with 30+ years of experience in hotel, restaurant and public house kitchens. Experience which became essential when due to no fault of our own we found ourselves homeless and living on Universal Credit.

Tony Carson is a Web Designer with 15+ years of experience and a passion for promoting the hospitality sector.

In 2017 after two disastrous contracts in a restaurant followed by a public house both with tied accommodation. We found ourselves in a homeless hostel with very few possessions and ever less money. As our situation worsened we found ways to feed ourselves on a very restricted budget which resulted in this collection of recipes. We hope you enjoy them and find them useful.

Having spent nearly 10 months either in a hostel or in a tent we are probably better equipped than the TV chefs to offer you our low cost recipes. We've been there and done it, as it were! These recipes initially only required a (camp) stove, a couple of pans, a frying pan, maybe an oven and a limited number of ingredients. As we're slowly worked our way out of the bad situation we found ourselves in we've added both gadgets and ingredients to our kitchen arsenel.

We worked on and still are working on a budget of £4 to feed 2 people Smooh the Cat and sometimes scraps for the urban Foxes!

We hope you find these recipes fun, interesting, tasty and useful. They are all also Gluten Free as Sue has Coeliac Disease but normal pasta etc. will cost you less.

Feel free to use them, share them, print them, most or all enjoy them.

We hope they will be of assistance to those on Universal Credit, our Homeless friends, Students, those on a limited income or anybody looking for a little inspiration.
