Tandoori is a mixture of spices commonly used in Indian cuisine. It is a fine red-brown powder.
It has a very rich and subtle taste, which gets enhanced when cooked. It is not very spicy(less
than chilli powder or curry for instance) and very aromatic. Ingredients used to make tandoori
may vary in number and proportion but it is normally made with the following spices: mild
pepper, paprika, garlic, chilli pepper, thyme, cilantro, salt, cumin, black pepper, celery, caraway,
rosemary, clove, bay leaves, and cinnamon.

would love to try this but it calls for yogurt? I thought you couldnt have dairy on level 1??? Help!!??
Maybe look for soy yogurt?
I've noticed so many IP recipes that seem to use ingredients I didn't think were legal. However, common sense says that in this recipe you'll actually eat very little of the yogurt. I've used yogurt before in marinades and it results in great flavor. At least for me, I'm going to opt for using small amounts of things I'm not sure about in order to bring more flavor and variety into my meals.
Yum
I want to try this.
Can you use chicken wings?
