What is Elote?

Elote is a popular street food in Mexico. It is roasted or boiled corn that is served on the cob or in kernels in a generous layer of mayonnaise, spices, chili sauce and Cotija cheese!

Key Points

  • Substitute Mayo with Greek Yogurt and sour cream for a lighter version. If you prefer Mayo go for it!
  • Paprika is used for coloring–could use ground Kashmiri chili pepper (mild spicy) or chili pepper
  • Use feta cheese or ground Parmesan instead of cojita cheese.
  • Add a touch of MSA’s Flavor Pop Sea Salt.

This vegan curry chickpea salad is full of flavor with Curry Flair, fresh, and ready in under 15 minutes! Makes for a great sandwich, wrap, or serve over a bed of greens. Use it as a spread with naan bread or try it with my homemade lavash chips!

Key Notes:

  • Curry Flair: My pre-blend curry spice mix is the key ingredient. Store-bought will not give the same results. Start with 1 tsp then add more to your liking (I end up using 1 tbsp.).
  • Vegan Mayo: easily find at grocery stores, however can use regular mayo, or even plain greek yogurt.
  • Celery: provides a nice crisp crunch element. Can substitute with Persian cucumbers.
  • Cashews (optional): adds a nice savory crunch or can use peanuts
  • Cilantro: always pairs well with curry, however if you aren’t a fan use parsley.
  • Fresh lime juice: adds zest!
  • Das Curry Haus: try using a pinch of my smoked apple curry sea salt with toasted caraway seeds.

Tandoori chicken tikka are pieces of chicken coated in the tandoori twist yogurt marinade and skewered resembling a chicken kebab! Everything on a stick tastes better and way more fun during the grilling season!

What are the differences between tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, and chicken tikka masala?!?!?!?!?!

  • Tandoori chicken: whole chicken or whole pieces of chicken with bone (chicken thighs, wings, legs) marinated in yogurt/spices cooked in a tandoor oven.
  • Chicken tikka: pieces of meat most common chicken breasts (boneless) marinated in yogurt/spices skewered and cooked on a grill or in a oven.
  • Chicken tikka masala: marinated pieces of chicken in yogurt/spices cooked in a rich tomato sauce. Masala translates to blend of dry and fresh spices in Hindi.

Key Notes

  • Marination: this is key! Whip up the marinade in minutes and let time do the work for you! 30 minutes will suffice, but 24 hours will really let the flavors sing!
  • Oven, grill, or air fry: I’ve included instructions for air fry and oven. The grill well look it up!
  • Dairy free substitution: Try coconut cream or non dairy yogurt.
  • Basting: brushing the kebabs with melted butter, ghee, or olive oil helps to keep the chicken moist.

What to serve with chicken tikka?

  • Turmeric basmati or jasmine rice (recipe below)
  • Curry potato salad
  • Cucumber salad
  • Raita

Instructions

Tandoori Chicken Tikka

  • Prepare the yogurt marinade: In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, olive oil, tandoori twist, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken to the yogurt marinade; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hrs.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before baking. Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers and place on an aluminum foil-lined large baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven baste with olive oil or melted butter and flip. Turn oven to 420 degrees F. and bake for another 10-12 minutes. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes for the charcoal look/flavor. Remove from oven and lightly sprinkle with tandoori twist. Serve with lime wedges!

Air Fry

  • Line the drip tray of the fryer with aluminum foil. Place the marinated chicken pieces in the basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400 Degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Baste with butter, flip, and baste with butter on the other side. Air fry for another 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked and slightly charred

Turmeric Rice

  • Rinse rice until water runs clear, drain. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil. Add onion and garlic, saute until softened (3-4 minutes). Add rice and turmeric. Stir until combined.

curry from curry powder

Key Notes:

  • Curry Flair: Do Not Try this recipe with store-bought curry as you will not get the same results and will be disappointed!
  • Adaptable to all diets: recipe notes below depending on the protein/vegetables you are using. Steps will vary.
  • Salt: salting here is so important to bring out the flavors and upon building a curry. Adding a pinch of kosher salt throughout is critical.
  • Tomato paste: used for unami flavors and helps to thicken the curry especially if you are making this vegetarian/vegan.
  • Ginger/garlic: chopping and grating ginger is time consuming, so can buy ginger or garlic paste to use instead or use the freezer cubes from trader joes.
  • Blending: Once you have cooked the onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and spices–highly recommend blending for a uniform smooth consistency. If you don’t mind the texture of onions and tomatoes then can skip. We prefer to blend and does make a difference in taste/rounds out the flavors.

  • To or not soak wooden skewers: SOAK for 30 minutes prior to cooking so they don’t burn.
  • Oven Method: If using oven be sure to broil last 2-3 minutes for the charred look/flavor.

This restaurant style butter chicken starts by marinating chicken using MSA’s Tandoori Twist spice mix in a simple yogurt marinade then is cooked over the stove top in a creamy aromatic rich tomato sauce. No onion, garlic, ginger, or cashews required and no blending!

What is butter chicken?

Butter chicken was created by a chef named Kundan Lal Gujral (creator of tandoori chicken) in the 1940s who was trying to find useful ways to use dry leftover tandoori chicken so why not throw it in a spiced tomato sauce with lots of butter and cream hence the name butter chicken!

Want to learn how to make tandoori chicken? Click here for recipe!

Key Notes:

  • Tandoori Twist: The only spice you’ll need in this dish (trust me).
  • Tomato paste: Acts as the thickener and deepens the flavor vs. ground cashews.
  • No Blending: I use canned Tomato Puree that is already a smooth consistency.
  • No Onions, Garlic, or Ginger: The three basics in practically every Indian dish, however authentic butter chicken has no onions!!! Garlic and ginger isn’t needed here because its already in the Tandoori Twist!
  • Butter and Cream: I go light here to keep it on the healthier side. Everything in moderation, however if you are dairy free substitute the yogurt & cream with coconut cream and butter with olive or coconut oil (details in recipe notes below).

How to Make Restaurant Style Butter Chicken

Course Main Course
Cuisine Indian
Keyword butter chicken, chicken curry
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Marination 1 day
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs boneless/skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces
  • 3/4 cup whole plain Greek yogurt or dairy free yogurt or coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp tandoori twist
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed or 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tsp kosher salt

Butter Masala (Curry Sauce)

  • 2 tbsp butter or ghee or 1 tbsp olive oil
  • marinated chicken
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1-2 tsp tandoori twist
  • 1 can tomato puree
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar to taste or honey
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream or coconut cream if dairy free
  • cilantro for garnish or parsley

Instructions

Tandoori Chicken Marinade

  • Combine the Marinade ingredients with the chicken in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to 24 hours (minimum 3 hrs).

Curry Sauce

  • Cook chicken: Heat the ghee (butter or oil) over high heat in a large fry pan. Lift the chicken out of the Marinade but do not shake off the marinade from the chicken (thats the good stuff).
  • Place chicken in the fry pan and cook for around 3 minutes, or until the chicken is white all over (it doesn’t really brown because of the Marinade). Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Sauce: Add the tomato paste to the pan's drippings, tandoori twist and cook over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato passata, salt, and add the chicken. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Do a taste test to see if it needs more salt. Stir in the cream. Cook 1-2 minutes. Add a dollop of butter for extra richness. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
  • Serve with basmati rice or naan bread with a cucumber salad.

Notes

Tandoori Twist: is what makes this butter chicken dish, therefore if you attempt to use a store bought pre-made version it will not taste the same. 
Cayenne Pepper: Tandoori Twist is not spicy, therefore if you’d like to add a little heat use a pinch of cayenne (don’t use American chili pepper as it is more sweet than spicy). 
Tomato passata: is same as Tomato Puree. If you can’t find it, puree canned tomatoes using a blender. 
Dairy Free Substitutes: I have used coconut cream from the top of canned full fat coconut milk to marinate the chicken and it works great. 

Wine Pairing with Butter Chicken

For red wine a fruit-forward, medium-bodied red that’s light on tannins will serve you well here. For white wine a medium weight on the acidic side, will be your best choice. The acidity cuts through the rich buttery sauce and will cleanse the palate, but it won’t overwhelm the flavor of the curry. 

While butter chicken is traditionally a very mild dish, if you choose to add spice you’ll want to be sure to steer clear of high tannins and high alcohol.

  • Cabernet Franc: medium body with tart fruit flavors, similar to Pinot Noir.
  • Lambrusco: a slight bubbliness with strong berry notes.
  • Beaujolais: also known as Gamay, light, low tannins.
  • Sangiovese: savory, cherry flavor with notes of tomato.
  • Riesling: Light, sweet, crisp and highly acidic. Known for being food-friendly.
  • Chardonnay: dry and buttery with moderate tannins and acidity. 
  • Gewürztraminer: rich bouquet of exotic fruits, spices and rose tones.

  • Be sure to marinate the chicken wings for at least 1 hr. up to 24 hrs.
  • I prefer to roast them in the oven vs. air fryer because can cook more at once and provides a deeper flavor, however you can totally use the air fryer to cook in small batches! (directions below).
  • Not a fan of blue cheese then pair with ranch dressing or a yogurt cilantro yogurt dip.

Curry Flair just like the name suggests is robust, warm, and bursting with flavor compared to its average bottle found in the grocery stores.

History of Tandoori.....

The name “Tandoori” stems from the clay oven in which the meat is cooked in. 

Tandoori chicken is one of the most widely known Indian dishes. 

Traditionally, the meat is first tenderized in a yogurt marinade with garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices. The chicken is then, placed on long metal skewers into a 900 degree Fahrenheit oven and as its juices drips onto the wood it lends to a savory smoky flavor.

While, historians have found evidence of Tandoor like clay ovens and chicken bones with char marks dated 3000 BC commonly identified with Punjab (northern India), chicken tandoori as we know today was modernized by a man named Kundan Lal Gujral in the 1940s at his famous restaurant: Moti Mahal that is located in Old Delhi.
