You can buy store-bought tandoori paste which will make your life easier. However, if you wish to try and make your own paste, simply blend yoghurt, garlic, ginger, green chillies (add more if you want spicier), tumeric, paprika and garam masala. Blend everything well and keep in a sterile jar in the fridge. When you wish to use the paste, add to any recipe but add blend in lemon juice and salt.
