For the love of Tandoori

While in New York I was talked into going to a lovely Indian place by my friends and had the most incredible Tandoori Chicken. If you've never had it, it's something to expierence, it really is. This is the closest that I've been able to create at home (having no tandoori oven).

Cheater's Tandoori Chicken

4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoon curry (heat of your choice)
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt (or non-dairy soy yogurt)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lemon's juice
chicken breasts

Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Marinate chicken breasts in the sauce, sealed tightly overnight. Grill or broil to desired doneness. The crisp parts are the best.

Your results will be a reddish, flavorful dish that will compliment almost any setting.
