chicken & veggie chana masala

i love indian food and one of the dishes i really love is chana masala. eating a paleo diet, i dont eat chickpeas, so i took the chana masala flavoring and applied it to something else!

of course, its an interpretation based on my research of what goes into chana masala. i think i got close to the taste ;)

chicken chopped up
broccoli
tomatoes
onion
garlic
coriander
cumin
cayenne
tumeric
paprika
ginger
salt
lemon
green chili
butter

stir fry in pan and cover to simmer for 5 minutes

yumminess! :)

tandoori chicken with radishes and carrot

this was a fun meal! i love the way the whole radish looks on the plate! not only that raw radish is yummy! the tandoori chicken was yummy too! i love indian food! im definitely going to learn to make more indian dishes ;) yes, i know, i like to combine foods that arent typically combined but its my way of eating ;)

tandoori chicken:

• large chicken breast sliced up into tenders or use chicken legs and thighs
• mix tandoori spice (i got mine at whole foods - its an organic spice mix), chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, olive oil, and a tiny bit of water and combine with chicken in a bag to marinate
• marinate for an hour or overnight
• preheat oven for 350
• cook in oven with onion slices for 10 - 25 minutes depending on how thick the chicken pieces are
