Tandoori Potatoes

Tandoori Potatoes are a vibrant Indian BBQ dish featuring tender potatoes marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture, then grilled to perfection. This dish brings a delightful blend of flavors and is perfect for a summer cookout or a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

• Baby potatoes - 400 grams
• Plain yogurt - 100 grams
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cilantro - for garnish
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Wash and scrub the baby potatoes well, then boil them in salted water for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the boiled potatoes to the marinade and toss gently until they are well coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated potatoes onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning).
6. Brush the skewers with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are slightly charred and heated through.
7. Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
