Tandoori Sauce
Tandoori sauce is an Indian specialty. It has a smoky and savory flavor, perfect for marinating or combining with proteins like chicken and beans, or even vegetables!
As tandoori sauce is made with a blend of Indian spices, it is often served with yogurt. This adds a creamy texture and helps to balance out the flavors with something fresh, so don’t skip it! If you don’t have Greek yogurt on hand, swap in another type of plain yogurt or sour cream.
