Tandoori Chicken, Roasted Vegetables & Cucumber Sambal

Having a strong love of Indian food in this household means that cooking a curry or a tandoor dish will always be eaten with no hesitation what so ever.  We love tandoori, often having Tandoori Lamb Cutlets, so I knew this dish would be a winner before I even started cooking.

I have cooked another version of Tandoori Chicken before, this recipe is only a little different but served with roasted vegetables, a fragrant Cucumber Sambal, naan bread and of course, Mint Raita it is a complete meal and one well worth the effort.
