Mix the yogurt and tandoori powder. More powder will give you a more intense taste (so the mixture will range from pink to bright red, depending on your
taste). Poke holes in the chicken with a fork, so the marinade will reach all the way inside the chicken.
Coat the chicken with the mixture, place it in a covered pyrex dish and let it sit (preferably overnight) in the fridge.
When you are ready to cook it, put the pieces on a foil-covered cookie sheet in the oven on 375 for about 40 minutes (turn it every 15 minutes or so), or until
cooked through.
Grill method:
Same as above, but taste is more authentic.
Garnish with the lemon wedges and serve with Indian "pita" bread, called "Roti". It is delicious and not too messy, unlike American barbeque!
CHICKEN BERNAISE
By Cousin Belinda
I have done this a million different ways, and it still comes out good every time.
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken tenders
1 package Knorr Bernaise powder mix
2 sticks butter
1 cup milk
1 package of stuffing--your choice--follow preparation on box
1 small can LeSeur peas
1 small can mushrooms (optional)
1 package of sliced Swiss Cheese
5-6 Ritz Crackers, crumbled
Prepare stuffing and Bernaise sauce (directions on package). Fully fry the chicken in a pan (but don't dry it out!) Then mix the peas, chicken, mushrooms,
and stuffing together and place in a small oblong casserole dish. Pour half of the sauce mixture on top, covering as much as possible. Then, put the
Swiss Cheese slices on top, according to preference (I like a lot!) Use some of the remaining sauce to cover the cheese, then sprinkle on the Ritz crackers. Cook in a 375 oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is
really bubbling.
FIESTA QUICHE
By Cousin Belinda
This is something I am working on...so the amounts are approximate, but it is delicious!
Ingredients
1 pie crust (I made my own, but you could probably do this with a ready-made crust, too)
6 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons of pimientos, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped spinach, drained
1 small can mushrooms, drained
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
5-6 wedges of any other cheese
1/2 cup diced ham
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tblsp of sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients (except spinach and crust)together in a bowl. Fold in spinach. Put crust in a square Pyrex dish (fit it in, however), so the bottom
is completely flat and covered. Pour mixture into the dish and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 45-55 minutes....start watching it at 35
minutes. It will puff up like a souffle and be very firm when done. You should be able to slice it with ease in 10 minutes. Nik suggests that you serve it with some guacamole and hot salsa.
