Crispy Tandoori Chicken:

1 TBPS Chili Powder

1 TBPS Masala

1 TBSP Cumin

1 TBSP Ground Coriander

1/2 tsp Turmeric

1/2 -1 tsp Cayenne Pepper or Ground Red Pepper

3 tsp Ginger Powder

2 Garlic Cloves, Minced

10-15 drumsticks

Mix all the spices together then toss in a bag or large bowl with the drumsticks and 2 TBSP olive oil. Let sit overnight (yep, so if you prep this Sunday, it’ll be perfect for Monday night!). Place desired number of drumsticks in air fryer for 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Let sit 10 minutes. serve with rice or Naan flatbread.

Marsala Chicken

4-6 drumsticks from above

1 cup of water

2 cans of diced tomatoes (or four cups of diced fresh tomatoes – but if you decide to go fresh either puree or remove skin once it’s cooked)

1 TBSP Garam Masala

1 tsp Cayenne or Ground Red Pepper

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Garlic Salt

1 tsp Sugar

1 tsp of Turmeric

Place water in crockpot first, then all other ingredients, mix, then pour over chicken and place on low. After 8 hours (up to 10) remove chicken and debone then put meat back in the crockpot with 1/2 cup of milk or cream. Serve over rice.

Naan Flatbread

2 cups of flour + 1 TBSP Sugar +1 tsp yeast + 1 tsp salt. Mix 3 TBSP Sour Cream + 2 TBSP Olive Oil + 3/4 Cup warm water together for 30 seconds in the microwave (desired temperature is warm not too hot or your yeast won’t work) then pour over the dry ingredients. Knead until consistent, then let sit anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour (for me this all depends on whether the toddler is feeling up for a park trip or screaming for food NOW – but you have your own metric!). Heat a dry iron skillet and divide dough into six discs, put into dry skillet and let cook 30-60 seconds on each side until done. Best served hot.
