(includes pic of raita)

with some type of flat bread like nan, roti, or pita bread, or rice if you prefer.
also, serve the chicken with cooked sliced onion and green pepper and also fresh lemon slices to squeeze over it.

Answer 2

Yes Emm chutneys are also great with tandoori dishes. I simply buy my chutneys. I like palak's sweet mango chutney.

Make the spiced yogurt called Riatia.

Using plain but not NON-FAT yogurt.

Mix into about a half cup of yogurt -

1/4 m teaspoon coriander powder

" Cumin powder
" Salt
1/8 " Cayenne Powder


Chop a cucumber into small pieces and mix in.
If you have firm tomatoes you can also make a cucumber and tomato riatia, I'd suggest upping the spice amount though so the tomato's don't overpower the yogurt.
If you want to make it more spicy then go ahead but just beware that a little too much salt will make it taste really salty. IF that happens just add more yogurt.

In India Tandoori Chicken is served with Mint Coriander Dip

1 cup cilantro leaves, as above

2 cloves garlic

1/4 cup onion, chopped

Blend all ingredients in a blender.

MINT AND CORIANDER chutney goes great with tandoori chicken.

2 cups chopped mint (phudina) leaves

Combine all the ingredients and grind to a smooth paste in a blender using very little water.
