Re your request for a good tandoori marinade - I use as the base 1 tub of yogurt, 4 teaspoons of Tandoori mix, 2 teaspoons of Garam Massala, I teaspoon of Chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric and the juice of 1 lemon. Mix it all together and marinade your chicken overnight in the fridge. Try increasing/reducing the amounts above and adding your own variations such as Garlic (fresh or powder), Cumin and Coriander to suit your own requirements.

I've found that they are ideal to BBQ at home, however, if the weather isn't good (normally the case!) I quickly pan fry just to get rid of the excess marinade and then oven cook for a short while  - no more than 15 mins dependant upon the size of the meat of course
