For each recipe which is in the box you get a wee recipe card and a box of spices to go along with it. You also have a tear off part of the card for a shopping list for yourself.
For the tandoori chicken you had a box of smoked chilli blend and tandoori paste. If got myself a large bowl, added my boneless chicken thighs & squeezed the juice of a whole lemon, covered the chicken with the smoked chilli blend then added the tandoori paste and natural yoghurt. You mix this really well and leave to marinade for as long as possible, I only had 30 minutes to marinade mine!
Whilst the chicken was marinating I then got into my sweet potato wedges. As it was only me having sweet potato I cut up one large sweet potato into wedges, moved them into a mixing bowl, sprayed them with frylight and sprinkled over the seasoning that came in the box. The recipe says 20-25 minutes but mines took about 35-40 minutes so just keep checking!
To cook the chicken you have an option to do them in the oven or grill them. As I never had room in my oven I decided to do them in the George Foreman grill, they took about 7-8 minutes roughly but I just kept checking them to see if they were cooked. Some pieces of chicken took longer than usual because of the size. I just served mine with the wedges, salad and a dollop of leftover natural yoghurt on the side!
& verdict? I'm not sure about it! It was good to try something different but other than that nothing special! I wasn't quite sure in the seasoning for the wedges, they tasted quite like a herby spice? I prefer paprika/Cayene pepper or peri peri salt from nandos on mine. The chicken was alright but parts of mine wasn't cooked, the rest was fine! I'm not used to using boneless chicken thighs, I don't like any chicken on the bone and I'm used to using chicken breast all the time! So maybe if I do try it again it'll be chicken breast for sure!
Verdict;
5/10
