Pro Tips
Today, I tested Tandoori chicken. The chicken was very savory, and spicy! It’s aromatic scent was heavenly divine! The cinnamon, nutmeg and tenderness made the dish special. I didn’t garnish with cilantro as the recipe suggested. Instead, I decorated it with my favorite go-to, scallions. I did add more cinnamon, nutmeg, and turmeric. I also added red pepper flakes because I wanted extra pop!
The tip is to use a pressure cooker. I found a pressure cooker on Amazon that will make your dishes memorable, Instant Pot Duo 7in1 Electric Pressure Cooker
