I love tandoori chicken, but could never find a recipe. Now, if I can find these spices. Challenges, challenges. I think there is an indian or pakistani food store near here.

Thank you dafla for your comments. Tandoori chicken is one of the MOST LIKED and LOVED Non-Veg Food here in India. I personally love. I stay alone and away from my family because of my job and have learnt all these recipes. A Bachelor living alone learns cooking...LOL.
