A recipe from the cuisine, allowed in a / / / diet.

The secret to an extremely flavorful tandoori chicken hides in the marinade. Concoct a hot mixture of chili, ginger, coriander, cumin, paprika, garam masala, and harissa; delicately smooth it with oil and yogurt. In contrast to the original recipe, where you’d use a tandoor oven, turn to the good old grill.
